We all use too many plastic bags and many cities are now bringing in ordinances to limit their use. At the same time, the manufacturing of paper is a major cause of deforestation worldwide, so upcycling newspapers is a way to help curb that. We are proud to be working with Jan Sandesh, providing work for the needful women and adolescents who make these recycled Newspaper Bags in Delhi.

Small size Newspaper Bag, with paper handle come in bundles of 25. Jan Sandesh Newspaper Gift Bags are handmade in India, and are novel and surprisingly durable. We are proud to be affiliated with Jan Sandesh who have an income-generating program, providing meaningful work for the women who make these recycled newspaper bags in Delhi.
Using these newspaper bags helps remind us to recycle and be resourceful, while being cool too!!
While we may make an effort to reduce our use of plastic bags (as is mandatory in many parts of the US now), the manufacturing of paper is a major cause of deforestation worldwide, so recycled newspaper serves many purposes
Please note that each bag will vary slightly in appearance as they are made from recycled newspaper materials.
