Tote
bags are large, often unattached bags with parallel handles protruding from the
sides of the pouch.
Tote
bags are often used as reusable shopping bags. A typical shopping bag is made
of durable fabric, probably with thick leather on the handles and bottom.
Leather versions often have a grainy surface. Common fabrics include canvas,
jute, nylon, and other easy-care synthetic fibers, which can deteriorate after
prolonged exposure to sunlight. Many budget tote bags are often made from
recycled materials, minimally processed natural fibers, or by-products from the
process of upgrading organic materials.
The word tote is a colloquial English term (originally North American)
meaning "to carry" or "to transport", generally in relation
to a heavy load or burden. It is first recorded in Virginia in 1677, but its
etymology is uncertain. An alleged African origin has been discredited. It may
be related to Low German tute ("bag"), cognate with German.
The
term "tote bag" is first recorded in 1900. Recently, tote bags have been sold as a more
ecofriendly replacement for disposable plastic bags, given they can be reused
multiple times. They have also been given away as promotional items. A study by
the UK Environment Agency found that cotton canvas bags have to be reused at
least 131 times before they can match the carbon expenditure of a single
disposable plastic bag, and up to 327 times if the plastic bags are used as bin
liners. Another 2018 study by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency found
that cotton bags would need to be used 7,100 times to neutralize their environmental
impact. Meanwhile, tote bags made from recycled polypropylene plastic require
11 (up to 26 when considering reuse as bin liners for plastic bags) reuses to
match. According to a 2014 survey of US consumers, 28% of respondents who own
reusable bags forget the bag in about 40% of their shopping trips and throw it
once before throwing it away. I used it only about 15 times. Approximately half
of this group owns reusable bags and, despite recognizing their benefits,
usually chooses to use plastic bags over reusable bags. More and more
jurisdictions require the phasing out of lightweight plastic bags to reduce
land and sea pollution. To encourage consumers to consider reusable bags more
often, these laws set a minimum bag price
at checkout, paper, reusable cloth tote bags, or thick reusable bags.
