When you pull them from the bag of carriers you seem to acquire whether you want them or not and keep for putting rubbish in you find them full of holes .. :-( Our local Co-op Pioneer claims its plastic bags are biodegradable. They are as strong as any other plastic bag for about 4 or 5 uses, then the sweat from your hands makes the handles give way. If you keep them for ages, the whole bag seems to have the strength of toilet paper and then they are no good for anything. But they are practical to use twice for shopping then use as bin liners to throw out other household rubbish. (Did someone mention blister packs?) Blister packs aren't any good for using for household rubbish are they? I thought we didn't have much rubbish but I've never seen blister pack which could accommodate it ... Mary Jim |

You need carrier bags to collect the blister packs that are no use to anybody. Ah, I understand. It never ceases to amaze me how much bigger the blister packs are than the product that they enclose. And how few hardware products are supplied without a blister pack wrapped round them. They must make up a significant proportion of landfills. They also take up a lot of space in transporting and displaying goods. I hate them. Mary Jim |
