LoopTas

Currently, a wide range of reusable shopping bags is being promoted by various retailers and companies around the world to reduce the number of single-use plastic shopping bags. Unfortunately, consumers are using reusable shopping bags like single-use plastic bags leading to more plastic consumption and subsequent more plastic waste. This is greatly diminishing the effectiveness of reusable shopping bags. When it comes to purchasing a new shopping bag, the first thing that comes to mind is what we will do with the existing collection of 10-15 bags that are being unused and sitting at home.

LoopTas is an NFC-enabled innovative and unique solution that has the ability to increase the effectiveness and sustainability of reusable shopping bags by keeping them in the loop and eliminating traditional plastic shopping bag consumption and waste through a return and rewards program. The National Geographic report explicitly indicated that reusing the same bag several times is the only way to lessen the negative impact on the environment.
