Footwear stores hand out over 9 billion bags every single year just so we can carry our shoes home.
We all know plastic bags are bad for the environment. But switching to paper isn’t all that good either. Paper bags can produce 5 times more greenhouse gases compared to plastic ones.
The thinking behind the solution is that since most shoes already come in transport packaging, the only thing missing is a handle. The Bagless Cord is exactly that and as a result reduces environmental impact by more than 94% compared to conventional paper bags and represent a decidedly more sustainable alternative to plastic bags. The solution is designed to be effortlessly implemented into the existing workflow and user experience and is thus kept as close to a regular bag as possible.
The drawback of paper bags is the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted, water used and crude oil extracted. But if we take a look at 1 g of plastic and 1 g of paper, paper is not worse than plastic. So the problem lies in the overall mass of the paper bag. Bagless cord takes advantage of the structural nature of paper strings to drastically lower the consumption of paper, lowering the and other impact by 94%.
Since this solution greatly reduces the surface area compared to a regular bag a simple addon tag adds space for stores to brand the cord. The backside of the tag communicates the environmental benefits of the solution and instructs the user how the cord is to be disposed of.
