What is a bag reuse service?
Sustainable solution for restaurants and local businesses.
We offer durable and reusable bags to affiliated businesses.
Use and Return
Customers use these bags for their shopping and, instead of throwing them away, they return them to the store (or a collection point) within a specified time.
Collection, Cleaning and Putting into Circulation
We collect them, clean them, and return them to the businesses so they can be used again by other customers.
Why is it important to offer a bag reuse service?
Fight against single-use plastics
The main objective is to drastically reduce the amount of waste generated by disposable bags. By promoting reuse, billions of bags are prevented from ending up in landfills and ecosystems, where they take centuries to decompose.
Resource and Energy Conservation
It reduces the need to use oil (for plastic) or cut down trees (for paper) for the constant manufacture of new materials, thus reducing the carbon footprint associated with production and transport.
Promotion of the Circular Economy
Promoting the Circular Economy: Reuse is the second principle of the circular economy (after reduction). A reuse service extends the useful life of materials and fosters a more sustainable consumption cycle.

FAQS
- Environmental : Differentiate yourself from the competition with an ecological initiative that reduces CO₂ production associated with the generation and transport of these bags and, in addition, significantly decreases the amount of single-use bags, which take years to decompose.
- Economical : Save on disposable material costs. Rebag lets you save money on disposable bags. Royal Decree 293/2018 requires businesses to charge a fee for disposable bags: between €0.05 and €0.30. Considering that each person uses approximately 144 disposable bags annually, this represents an annual expense per person of between €7 and €44. With Rebag, you save money by avoiding the purchase of disposable bags and using the service for free.
- Social : Improve your CSR commitment by helping to create jobs for people at risk of social exclusion, as the bags are sewn in job placement workshops of the Portolà Foundation and the Ared Foundation in Barcelona.
A solution based on the circular economy.
Rebag was born out of a real need: to address the problem of waste generated by plastic and paper bags. A viable and sustainable alternative was lacking.
Today, Rebag is a concrete and viable proposal, created to transform the way we shop. We offer a sustainable and practical solution that encourages the use of reusable and returnable bags, thus contributing to waste reduction and promoting a circular and social economy. Demonstrating to the world that small changes make a difference.
We offer four different bag models to suit various needs, made from cotton or 100% recyclable polyester. Ask us to find out which models best suit your business and your customers.
Each Rebag bag has 400 uses. Therefore, each Rebag bag, throughout its lifespan, prevents 400 disposable bags from being generated. Can you imagine having that power in your hands?
After their useful life, we take care of recovering them and ensuring that they are 100% recycled so that their materials (cotton and polyester) continue to circulate for as long as possible.
There is no minimum contract period; you can cancel the service whenever you want.
We are at your service. Don’t hesitate to contact us by email at info@gozerowaste.es 🙂
