TGF Rated Review: Bag tube

What is it?

The Bag Tube is designed to reduce the number of plastic bags used each year and encourage reuse of plastic bags by ensuring that you always have one available when you need it.

Who is testing it? Me.

Set Up You attach your Bag Tube to your key ring, and put one or two carrier bags into the tube.  Then you have carrier bags to hand when you are next at the shops and you’re unlikely to forget them as they are attached to your keys.

In Use

This is a straightforward and simple product.  It’s reasonably priced at £1.19 and 10% of the profits go into tree planting.  It’s also suggested that dog owners tie one onto a dog lead, using the bags as a dog poop bags.

Any Negatives

The main negative for me would be having to use supermarket carriers as I much prefer to use my own reusable carriers as they are stronger and hold more.  I found it quite hard to put in the second bag and certainly couldn’t have fitted anymore in.  It’s reasonably bulky to use as a keyring.

Price and Availability Available from Wikaniko for £1.19.

Overall This is a reasonably priced and simple idea that will work well for some people depending on their shopping habits.  I liked the dog poop idea too and that sounded as if it would work well, but I’m not a dog owner so I haven’t tried that out.
