About eco bags in Portugal
Portugal banned plastic bags at retail in 2015 and has strong ESG sentiment in B2B procurement — so eco totes are the default option for conference welcome bags, retail loyalty gifts and corporate sustainability launches. We supply 140-280 gsm organic cotton totes, jute beach bags, recycled PET (rPET) shopper bags and hemp/cotton blend bags. European supply via Stanley/Stella, Westford Mill, B&C BagBase.
Common formats: standard short-handle 38×42 cm tote (conference giveaway), long-handle shopper 36×40 cm (retail), boat bag with reinforced base (premium), drawstring gym sack (event swag). All available with OEKO-TEX and GOTS certification on request for premium ESG-led clients.
