Polish designer Katarzyna Okinczyc and photographer Remigiusz Truchanowicz designed the 60 Bag, a carrier-bag that degrades in 60 days.
Responding to the growing demand of carrier bags that are green enough for our environment, the bag is made of flax-viscose non-woven fabric. Since the material is produced with flax fiber industrial waste, it does not exploit any natural resources and uses only minimal energy to produce.
The 60 Bags can be custom made in various styles and sizes. They are targeting retail businesses to encourage them to use this greener alternative. Kudos to them!
