Turtle Bags

Twenty years ago, scientists were beginning to understand how waste plastic was finding its way into our oceans, acting as a sponge for chemical pollutants, helping to carry them into fish and then on to us.

Horrified by this prospect founder and ecologist, Beth Williams, wondered what she could do to raise awareness around her. How to create less waste, be mindful of our individual consumption and make small lifestyle changes to hopefully make a big impact? And so Turtle Bags was born, with a mission to raise awareness of this invisible problem and to offer alternatives to plastics which are kinder to both people and planet. Behind the brand Turtle Bags is a real passion for the planet!

As long-term members of the BAFTS we work closely with supply partners to ensure that products share our environmental values and that there are fair conditions for those making Turtle Bags. Our cotton products proudly bear the Fairtrade Cotton mark and the Global Organic logos. These two marks demonstrate that the organic production of our cotton has been carefully monitored by a third party, ensuring a safe working environment and growth of the crop without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilisers.
