We Love It Because: Onya’s commitment to sustainability extends to their packaging which is made from post-consumer recycled material and printed with water based inks so it is suitable for both recycling or composting.

Brand

In 2004, the founder Jon Brousson, was in search for a meaningful, environmental change that can make a difference in reducing the prevalence of single use plastic. He created his first reusable shopping bag that quickly invoked interest with friends, family and even strangers during his shopping trips. His humble beginnings have seen the company grow to offer reusable shopping bags, produce bags, backpacks and coffee cups and one of the highest quality stainless steel drink bottle ranges on the Australian market. Onya’s products are 100% recyclable and made out of recycled material such as rPET, a fabric produced from recycled plastic water bottles. Being a B Corp certified company, their products are verified to be responsibly made, both ethically and sustainably, in China. Onya is 100% Australian owned and designed.

Product

Onya Reusable Produce Bags (5 pk) are crafted from special rPet fabric, made from recycled plastic drink bottles.

With many people trying to attain a closer to zero waste lifestyle, these produce bags allow you to do your weekly shop without the need for single use plastic. Onya bags are light but deceptively strong and can hold up to 2 kilos/4.4 pounds of produce and feature a gussett and drawsting tie.

Weighing in at only 10 grams per bag, these bags barely register on a scale and the see through mesh bags allow shop assistants to know exactly what is inside your produce bag at a glance.

The bags let water/air flow through so you can use them to wash your produce and then simply take your washed produce out, dry it off, and place in a storage container to pop into the fridge or store on the bench top, and simply hang your bags to dry. The open nature of the mesh bags allows your bench top produce such as apples and oranges to ‘breathe’ which gives it a longer life compared to plastic bags.
