The bags bear an environmental quality seal which certifies their suitability for reutilization, reducing waste, and saving on resources.

Called "t-shirt" bags because of their resemblance to a t-shirt, they are often used just once, and tend to accumulate in our homes.
By using reusable, biodegradable bags, all the Forum's market shops will offer an ecological alternative to the shopping bag as we know it.
Made from cornstarch, or corn-a renewable natural resource-these bags are ideal for collecting organic waste (such as vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish) or for use in gardening or farming.
Because they are reusable and biodegradable, the bags are environmentally friendly, and do not contaminate or harm our surroundings. They are designed to be deposited in organic waste containers when full.
The Forum has also acquired thousands of meters of biodegradable tape to cordon off areas, becoming the first company in Spain to do so.
