Tried and Tested: Take 5 Nets
We're dedicated to handmade, local and sustainable at Frugal Cool. We're also on the look-out for superb practical eco-products.
We've chosen to champion Take 5 Nets. We use them everyday, they have made a difference to our lives.
We never leave for the shops without these clever bags. We just don't use plastic bags now, especially not those supplied at the fruit and veg counter. We've read enough to know that toxins can leach off the plastic into the produce. Simply best avoided.
From again & a-gain ltd in Ceres, winners of "Best Business Idea" Award in Scotland (2007-2008).
This is a simple but brilliant idea. 5 individual nets, each well made with a draw cord and cord lock. They are reusable, breathable and washable. Take them to the shops again and again and again. Light weight and compact, cord fastens closed, items visible through net, net allows air to circulate, may be used for storage, washable at 30°C. 30cm x 34cm.
