Pooch Palate customers receive their frozen food orders packed in strong clear plastic bags.
Although we would prefer to ship in something more environmentally friendly, we have good reason for using these plastic bags.
When we receive your order, we immediately pack it, label it and keep it in the freezer waiting for collection or delivery. The plastic bag holds the frozen food items together firmly, which in turn prevents the food from defrosting whilst in transit. Unfortunately, anything less durable would break apart with the weight and liquidity of the contents.
We have been thinking of a few ways to reuse or repurpose these bags:
Keep your paint brushes and rollers in a bag
Line a paint tray
Use as a liner between a paint lid and the can before you store used paint
Use as a bin liner
Use to protect plants by covering them in the winter
Hanging plant basket liner
Keen gardener? Use one to collect the weeds
Line your car boot with the bag when purchasing plants
Think about them when doing arts and crafts
Packing away non seasonal clothes? These bags could be useful
Use one to collect the contents of the small indoor bins
Doing a clean-up in your car? Use one of the bags to dump all the junk
Keep some in your car for those long road trips
Keep a few in your beach bag and use for the wet clothes and towels
How about making a kite for the kids?
Do you travel with a lot of shoes? You could use a bag for them
They could be useful as travel laundry bags
Dirty nappies? Use a bag to empty the nappy bin before putting them in the garbage
Use one to dispose of your cat litter
How about using one to store your smaller garden stuff, like gloves and shovels.
Do you have a lot of garage cloths lying around? Use a bag to keep them together
Ask a local school if they could do with a few
Use a bag to store the rest of the bags
We would love to know if you have any ideas too and will gladly share them on our list.
