SUSTAINABILITY & THE
ENVIRONMENT

As a top supplier of printed and wholesale paper bags in the UK, we understand that our customers are increasingly aware of the environmental challenges we all encounter. We acknowledge our responsibility to minimize the impact of our products and services on the environment. To this end, we strive to regularly audit, evaluate, and balance the effects of our business activities on our vital ecosystems.

We’re Certified & accredited

Why should we care?

The impact of our lifestyles on the environment is becoming increasingly clear, with the demand on our planet’s finite resources rising and, in some cases, reaching critical levels.

To show that we truly care, we must take every necessary step to reduce our environmental footprint.

What did we have to do?

Cotton Bag Co. has successfully undergone a rigorous auditing process to independently verify each step of our supply chain, ensuring full compliance with GOTS standards. Both our UK and Indian factories will be audited every 12 months to maintain these high standards.

We are incredibly proud to have earned our GOTS Certification, which aligns with our environmental and eco-policies, ensuring that we consistently consider our impact on both people and the planet.

Are We Carbon Neutral?

In collaboration with The World Land Trust (WLT), we have conducted a thorough audit of our carbon footprint, accounting for all our direct and indirect business activities. This process has allowed us to accurately calculate our carbon offset.

To balance this offset, we contribute funds to The World Land Trust, which then invests in the protection of ecologically significant and biodiverse ecosystems worldwide.

Organic Printing Methods

Screen Print– we use GOTS certified water-based inks to screen print your designs on to your bag.

DTG– Our Digital Direct to Garment printing machine has been GOTS certified. This is great for those multicoloured or photographic designs.

GOTS & Why it Matters
