How to turn your plastic bags into samosas

According to the RecycleNow web site (which incidentally is developed by my company), plastic bags can have a rather huge negative impact on the environment, since we use so much of it, and it takes 100 years for a bag to decompose in a landfill.

Also given that most recycling centres do not recycle plastic bags, the best thing we can do for now would be to reuse them as much as we can. I fold up my plastic bags neatly so I can easily pop one or two in my pack anytime without making a mess.

Here's how:

Step 1: Flatten the plastic bag neatly

Step 2: Fold the bag width-wise to an approx 2-inch column

Step 3: Fold up the bottom corner (the end that isn't the handles)

Step 4: Fold it up again in triangular segments

Step 5: Keep folding up till you reach the end with the handles

Step 6: Tuck the handles into one of the folds

Tada! Now you have a samosa!
