Everyday Questions

How many Gecco shopping bags will I need?

One Gecco shopping bag is equivalent to three plastic carrier bags. If you are a light shopper therefore (3-6 plastic bags per shop), you will probably only need one or two Gecco shopping bags. If you are a moderate shopper (6-9 plastic bags per shop), you will probably need two or three Gecco shopping bags. Most supermarket trolleys will accommodate two - three Gecco shopping bags at once, but for heavier shoppers it is possible to fill a Gecco shopping bag, drop it down into the bottom of the trolley and attach another one over the top. Using this method, it is possible to use up to five Gecco shopping bags dependant on the size of the trolley.

Which shopping bag/s are best for me?

For shoppers who purchase a combination of frozen and fresh groceries we would recommend a combination of the Gecco Easy shopping bag, Gecco Fizz shopping bag and Gecco Chill shopping bags. For those shoppers who purchase a high percentage of frozen produce, we would recommend the inclusion of the Gecco BigChill shopping bag. For heavier shops we would recommend the nylon/polyester shopping bags for durability.

Do the Gecco shopping bags fit in to all supermarket trolleys?

Supermarket trolleys come in all shapes and sizes. Our patented system means that Gecco shopping bags will fit most trolleys. Dependent on the size of the trolley, it is possible to attach up to three Gecco shopping bags at any one stage.

How many plastic bags does one Gecco shopping bag equate to?

One Gecco shopping bag holds the equivalent of three supermarket plastic carrier bags. That means that each Gecco shopping bag, used once weekly, over the course of a year prevents over 150 carrier bags from entering landfill sites, or worse still marine areas. If your average shop utilises three Gecco shopping bags a week over the course of a year - that would equate to over 450 plastic carrier bags - we think that's amazing!

Do I have to use my Gecco shopping bag in a supermarket trolley?

Absolutely not. Our patented system means you CAN attach it to a trolley to help with your supermarket shopping. Alternatively, you can use it as a straightforward shopping bag (or cool bag). It's a great size too!!

What other uses do they have?

The versatility of the Gecco range of shopping bags is another thing that makes them amazing. They can double up as picnic bags, beach bags, baby bags, sports bags and storage bags, overnight bags. Their uses are endless
