Sapporo City Designated Garbage Bags with "Striped Enaga" motif are cute! New Design Adopted from a Student's Work
Designer: Ms. Yuna Kudo, Hokkaido College of Art and Design (a.k.a. bisen), Bisen Gakko-Gakuen
The design adopted was a lovely zebra finch gazing at a plant sprout. It was selected as the Grand Prize winner in a design competition for a demonstration experiment to reduce plastic waste by using designated garbage bags instead of plastic shopping bags.
Mr. Kudo, the creator, commented on the design.
I created this design based on the image of a zebra finch looking forward to the abundance of nature. We are happy that the designed garbage bags have been well received not only by Sapporo residents but also by people outside Hokkaido, who have called them "cute" on SNS and other social networking sites.
We hope that many people will use them and that they will help reduce the number of plastic bags.
These garbage bags will be sold at supermarkets in Sapporo from February 2025. Please pick one up when you find one!
