Interesting Scottish source of reusable bags - an alternative to the thin PE/HDPE bags in which we wrap fruit, veg, bulk-bought cereals etc.?

Hello all

Deborah Soutar, the founder of Again-and-a-Gain Ltd based in Ceres, Fife, sent in this comment, which I'm happy to share as a separate post:

"Have you heard of the web site www.againanda-gain.com? It has a series of reusable nets and bags that are meant for fruit and veg but are great for anything from golf balls to hairbrushes to general tidies...
Certainly help on the eradication of the one-use bags."

According to Debbie's website, "the …take5TM range of nets and bags offers a viable alternatives for the single use, thin HDPE bag or paper bag offered free at fruit and vegetable counters."

Definitely worth a visit. The bags look attractive, the prices seem ok, the idea is certainly an excellent one. My only gripe is that the descriptions of the bags don't come with any measurements so it's hard to tell just how big individual bags and nets are. And I would have liked to find some information on what actually goes into these nets and bags.

Thank you in anticipation, Debbie, for your comment. :)
