Reusable Bags and Containers
There are many different types of reusable bags on the market. Reusable bags are made of
heavier materials and are stronger and more durable. You can get them in a variety of colors
and designs that fit your style.
Many different types of containers can be reused. They can be used for food, supplies, arts
and crafts, and storage. Containers are usually made to be microwavable and heat resistant
which means that it takes longer in the landfill to break down so remember to reuse.
