When the Courtauld Commitment was launched in July 2005 to reduce packaging, over 90% of the UK grocery market signed up to cut the environmental impact of carrier bags.

The Bags of Ethics mark was developed as a standard to guarantee that environmentally friendly bags are manufactured in a sustainable and ethical way.


During 2007 high profile criticism of environmentally friendly supermarket bags focused on claims of cheap labour and unethical manufacture .Clearly environmental and ethical values are positioned close together in people's minds and increasingly manufacturers of reusable and sustainable products are being asked about their ethics.
