Your customers can redeem a returnable shopping bag at the register in exchange for a deposit. They can return the shopping bag to your store any time and change it to a clean shopping bag or full refund of their deposit.
We pick up the used shopping bags at agreed intervals in your store, wash them, repair them when necessary, and then return them back to you nice and clean for their next use.
Our textile shopping bags have been designed to last. They are made of durable materials and prints have been tested to ensure their long lifetime in our industrial laundry processes. The returnable shopping bags last up to 4 years and one bag can replace over 400 plastic bags*!
We deliver the shopping bags to you always with your own custom prints.

Many of Hertta’s customers are environmentally aware and have requested new ways of reducing plastics. I wanted to offer a completely new option as a shopping bag. The advantage of a deposit-based shopping bag is that it can be returned to the store and the deposit reclaimed when the bag is no longer needed.
We can get you started with the returnable shopping bag service in three (3) weeks. If you have a large amount of bags, the custom printing might prolong the service start with 1-2 weeks.
The returnable shopping bag service is very straight forward and easy to take into use. We help you implement the service in your store with a simple process, including a checklist for actions that need to be completed before any bag is released.

Our returnable shopping bags (deposit bags) can be returned for laundry when necessary. We also repair the bags at our laundry, for example if there is need to fix the stitching on the handles. Taking care of the bags ensures that they last in use for years and are therefore a more long lasting option to reusable bags.
The returnable shopping bags can also be returned to the store for a full refund of the pawn. This way, we support circular economy and avoid having unnecessary bags laying around in our cupboards.
Studies show that consumers are worried about the use of plastics and want to find ways to replace it. Our returnable shopping bag service is an innovative way of decreasing the use of plastic bags. The deposit encourages people to return the bag when it becomes unnecessary or needs washing – thus preventing a great amount of plastics ending up in our nature.
