Helping to eliminate over 2.2 million plastic sacks from Charity Shops
Our commitment to reducing plastic in retail has seen a number of product innovations under the Velo™ brand, the latest being our Velo™ Reusable Transfer & Storage Sack which is a registered design exclusive to Acopia.
This has been trialed and championed by a number of charities to help us bring about meaningful change by reducing plastic usage in charity shops across the UK.

More about our partnership with Royal Trinity Hospice
Royal Trinity Hospice were completely aligned to what we were developing and joined our trial. They recognised that the introduction of the Velo™ Reusable Transfer & Storage Sack, effectively a bag for life, could help Charities across the UK eliminate the need to use several million plastic bags every year, supporting the sector as a whole to embrace more sustainable practices with a closed loop system.
