Bagnetic's name says it all. "Bag-netic" is a bag that has magnetic rings on its handles. The Bagnetic bag is a proprietary and unique product that satisfies the needs of today's grocery store shoppers.  Its features benefit the consumers in several ways: 1) Trendy, 2) Speedy check out, 3) Manufactured with quality material, 4) Affordable  and 5) Features that remind you to bring it.

Bagnetic was founded in 2009 by a young entrepreneur, Ryan Bautista. Having travelled extensively, he noticed that litter from plastic bags was commonplace in most countries. Research into the plastic bag dilemma revealed that less than 1% of them are recycled worldwide.  The vast majority end up in landfills, oceans or as litter, costing tax payers millions of dollars and harming valuable ecosystems. Inspired by Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth", Ryan felt it was time to contribute in reducing our carbon footprint. Ryan devised a way people can reduce their plastic bag consumption—all while adding affordable convenience to their shopping routine.

Plastic bags are commonly overused because grocery stores in most cities give them away for FREE.  However, people actually fail to realize that they pay for these plastic bags through an increase in the cost of goods.  Also, the challenge with existing reusable bags, boxes, and totes is that they are commonly forgotten, and shoppers often purchase a multitude of these, costing them more money in the long run. 

Bagnetic bags solves this problem by: 1) Creating an easy fold which makes the Bagnetic bag compact enough to fit into your hand, a purse, a key chain or a car cup holder 2) Making a magnetic connection to your refrigerator for an easy visual reminder and 3) bags are effortlessly hooked together with the Bagnetic Hook^TM ,— making it easy and convenient to store and carry.

The main reasons why consumers DO NOT purchase reusable bags: 1) Expensive prices 2) Poor quality, (i.e. the $0.99 totes often lose their shape, absorb odour and do not last long) and 3) Hold up lines at checkout counters by crumpling.  Bagnetic bags eliminate all three common problems. They are also very affordable since they are in SETS OF 2. Bagnetic bags are manufactured from high quality fabric, free of AZO toxic chemical dye, and are designed to last for several years.  Also, Bagnetic reusable grocery bags effortlessly connect to each other, making it easier to be hooked onto conventional grocery store checkout hooks.

On his next travel venture, Ryan seeks to advocate a "plastic bag-free" environment, and hopes to reduce the carbon footprint of every individual—one Bagnetic bag at a time.
