These silk shopping bags are made in Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi workers who make these silk bags are guaranteed good working conditions. The silk bags offer a solution that is good for the environment, both marine and on land, and avoids wastage of fossil resources.

Silk is a renewable resource and is readily biodegradable after its useful life. It can go on to produce useful mulch or compost, and hence soil, instead of taking 500 years to degrade, like most petroleum-based fabrics do.
