Tesco Safty Bags.jpgCheil Worldwide Hong Kong and Tesco China have created ‘Safety Bags,’ a bag that removes harmful pesticides to help protect people from contaminated fruit and veg. The bags use photocatalysis, a process that breaks down compounds using the power of light, and is proven to destroy toxic chemicals, including pesticides. Tesco is currently trialling the bags after one Greepeace study found that up to 90% of all fruit and vegetables sold in China contained pesticide residues.
