We would like to introduce a new grocery bag concept: a reusable grocery bag with style and functionality. It will be stylish in color, material, and shape, and will also have compartments to carry different types of grocery products such as frozen foods, produce, etc. The bag will help to limit the amount of plastic/paper bags in circulation and help cut down on the plastic bags waste.
One bag is sizable enough to accommodate the amount of groceries that would typically fit in four to six traditional plastic bags. Some of the profits of this product will go to an environmental cause. We would like to get an understanding of what features would be most important to you if you.
The following questions will ask you your preference for different combination of features for a reusable bag. Please select which option best describes your preference.
