Looking into the manufacturing of recycled paper bags we began feeling even more uneasy. 

Our bags were made from recycled paper but the process it takes to recycle a paper bag & turn it into a new bag is less than ideal

Our decision: stop participating & attempt a more circular program. 

As of today, we’re done with our recycled paper bags. 

In order to offer a free bag option, we are asking our community to bring us those bags hiding in your closet. 

Those folded up paper grocery bags, those non-recyclable coated department store bags, those clean food delivery bags.

We will accept any type of bag EXCEPT FOR SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAGS. We strongly believe those should be eliminated entirely. 

We also highly encourage the purchase of our at-cost bag option. For $1.20 you will receive a brand new washable reusable bag.

Alternatively, peruse our wide selection of forever bags available in Home. 

A handful of states have already eliminated single-use plastic bags. Some countries don’t offer a free bag option at all. We want to go a step further.

Help us create a circular bag economy at Asch.
