Problems solved by technology
These are a one-size fits all product that limit personalized organization and productivity.
Convenience is noted as a major obstacle to a consumer's consistent use of reusable shopping bags.
Often, consumers will neglect to bring their reusable bags from the house to the car and / or from the car to the store.
Urban residents often rely on public transportation for their shopping needs, making reusable bag use an undesired burden.
If they do remember, the often unwieldy nature of rolled up, non-conforming bags creates a mess in the vehicle and in the shopping cart while in the store.
The unwieldy nature of several bags poses an organizational conundrum and health risk.
Placing your reusable bag supply in the cart may take up valuable space for grocery items.
In the cart, where previous meat, poultry or fish purchases were made, cross contamination may occur.
Baggers complain reusable bags are difficult to access, often presented by customers as a wad of mismatched and wrinkled up masses of plastic or fabric.
Also, more often than not, customers do not come with an adequate supply, leading to the use of single-use bags anyway.
