Hinza
New!!
The Hinza bags now at Peony & Posy
We are beyond excited to be carrying the AMAZING Hinza bags.
They so practical, beautiful and are the perfect fit for our little company.
The Hinza bags in the Green Plastic range are a climate-smart choice. Most of the plastic in these bags are made of bio-plastic, a "green" plastic made from sugar cane, which is renewable.
When sugar cane is growing, it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If green plastic from sugar cane is burned, the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. As the amount of carbon dioxide does not increase, as it does when burning regular traditional plastic from fossil raw materials, there is no impact on the climate.
We currently have brought in select colours and two of the three sizes available. Check out the link below to see our current offerings.

The Hinza bags are manufactured in Sweden, in Hillerstorp. The factory is quality and environmentally certified under ISO-9001 and ISO-14001.

Why We Love Hinza
History
The original Hinza bag was made in the 1950s by Perstorp AB, a company founded by Karin's great-grandfather.
Karin grew up with the bags and has always used them every day. When the family needed more of the bags, she and her parents thought about starting up production again. In 2006 they started the company that was given the name Hinza, after Perstorp AB's former director's villa, Hinza Lycka. The house is now Hinza's office.
The Hinza bags have become a huge success and are sold in design stores in more than 20 countries.
Environment & production
Hinza bags are manufactured in Hillerstorp in Sweden, with much consideration being paid to quality, environment and working conditions. The factory is certified in accordance with ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 with regard to environmental and quality management.
With its proximity to the factory, we at Hinza have excellent control over materials and production, and we can keep transport at a minimum.
All Hinza bags are extremely durable and are made of plastics that can be recycled. The Green Plastic version of the Hinza bag is an even more climate-smart choice as the most of the plastic used is made from sugar cane, which is a renewable source.
The Hinza bags in the Green Plastic range are a climate-smart choice. Most of the plastic in these bags are made of bio-plastic, a "green" plastic made from sugar cane, which is renewable.
When sugar cane is growing, it absorbs carbon dioxide from the atomosphere. If green plastic from sugar cane is burned, the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. As the amount of carbon dioxide does not increase, as it does when burning regular traditional plastic from fossil raw materials, there is no impact on the climate.
The sugar cane that is used to make the green plastic in our Green Plastic shoppers is grown on Brazilian plantations located at least 2,500 km from the Amazon.
Green plastic is recycled in the same way as traditional plastic. Differences between surfaces may occur.
