Are these still available having a hard time locating them…wanted to order!?
We tend to agree about letting people customize by re-using their own bags. They can create their own more permanent solution if they so desire.
We have discussed with the manufacturer about the possibility to add a permanent and resistant bag to this frame but we came to the conclusion that it would in fact mean producing again more “stuff” and wouldn’t necessary be fully biodegradable at the end of its life cycle. Also its a question of design taste: when sold without the bag everyone can tailor the product to match home decoration. For these reasons we find it a good idea to use bags that you already have and you can also put a nice textile bag to this frame, it doesn’t have to be a paper bag! We would love to hear your comments on this issue.
These are nice looking. But if someone uses reusable bags, they might be better off with permanent bins that don’t require shopping bags…
