Never forget your resusable bags again

The average Australian uses 170 plastic bags every year. 150 million of these bags end up as litter and only 3% are recycled. Worldwide the problem is even larger, with 2 million bags being used each minute.

Enter BagNag. BagNag is a nifty new app that uses geofencing to help people remember to grab their green bags out of the car before going shopping at their local supermarket. BagNag can help people save time and money by preventing them from either having to walk back to their cars to retrieve forgotten bags, or purchase new bags at the checkout. BagNag also helps protect the environment, by ensuring people really are reusing their bags, instead of doubling up by purchasing bags that will just sit around the house and eventually end up in the garbage bin.

BagNag is easy to use, you simply select your favourite Coles and Woolworths stores and whenever you come within 100m of a shopping centre you nominated, BagNag will send an alert to your phone, reminding you to bring your bags. There is no need to open the app, the reminder is automatic! BagNag costs the equivalent of one green bag purchase ($0.99) and will save you time and money, all whilst helping the environment.
