Action Reusable Shopping Bag

ownerTSI GmbH & Co. KG (Germany)
originGermany
manufacturedPrimarily in China, but also produced in other locations

This product is a reusable shopping bag from Action, a well-known Dutch non-food discount retailer. The bag is designed as a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics, often featuring high-recycled content as indicated by the '100% Green' or similar eco-labels seen on its surface. The labeling specifically mentions 'Action Service & Distributie BV', which is the logistics and administrative arm of the Action brand based in Zwaagdijk-Oost, Netherlands.

Action originated in the Netherlands in 1993 and has since expanded rapidly across Europe. While the design and distribution are managed from the headquarters in the Netherlands, the physical manufacturing of these textile-based non-woven bags typically occurs in large-scale manufacturing hubs like China to maintain the low price point characteristic of the brand. Today, the company is under the majority ownership of British private equity firm 3i Group plc.
