When supermarkets stopped issuing free single-use plastic bags in 2015, there was a sea change in the way we shopped. Suddenly, everyone kept a couple of cotton tote bags in their backpacks for their weekly big shops.<\/p>\n

Granted, there has speculation over the years as to whether tote bags are actually\u00a0<\/em>that eco-friendly. A 2018 study by the Ministry of Environment and Food in Denmark<\/a>\u00a0said \u201cIn particular, conventional cotton carrier bags should be reused at least 50 times before being disposed of; organic cotton carrier bags should be reused 150 times based on their environmental production cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s therefore worth noting that you should probably only invest in one of these totes if, like us, you\u2019ll use them until they\u2019re decades old, shredded into several pieces, and starting to develop some kind of strange fungus.<\/p>\n

If you decide a tote bag is for you, we\u2019ve picked out some of our favourite wildlife-inspired eco-friendly tote bags on the market, nearly all of which have been created with renewable energy and do a lot less damage to the planet than other totes.<\/p>\n
