Don't be fooled by its compact form; our ""Smart"" Bag can carry up to 18kg of groceries, clothing, or whatever you need for your shopping trip. It's the perfect accessory for any excursion, ensuring you have ample space for all your purchases.
Each one-of-a-kind ""Smart"" Bag is a testament to our commitment to environmental conservation. Handcrafted from over 58 pieces of upcycled plastic waste and off-cut fabric, this bag not only reduces plastic pollution but also empowers local artisans in Ghana. By choosing this bag, you're making a conscious choice to support sustainability.
Plastic waste has become a big problem across Africa because of the lack of recycling initiatives and waste management infrastructure.
Through ingenuity and unwavering dedication, Trashy Bags pioneered a revolutionary approach to recycling. Every day, they collect thousands of discarded plastic bags from the streets, markets, and landfills, breathing new life into what was once considered worthless. These bags undergo a meticulous transformation, methodically washed, sorted, and transformed by skilled artisans into high-quality, eco-friendly products.
At Trashy Bags Africa, they are committed to fostering economic empowerment and social change. By providing employment opportunities to local artisans, many of whom are women and youth, we're not just creating jobs – we're nurturing talent, building skills, and catalysing sustainable development from the ground up.
