Patent ID: 11192694

Abstract:
A storage assembly for storing recyclable plastic shopping bags is provided. The storage assembly includes a bag flattening structure that when placed within the inner volume of a plastic bag holds the bag fully extended and flat. The assembly also includes a bag handle structure positioned generally above the bag flattening structure adapted to hold the top handles of the bag taut. A plurality of plastic bags may be placed onto the bag storage assembly, with each bag placed within the inner volume of the next. The storage assembly also includes an attachment mechanism (e.g., a top hook) so that the assembly may be hung upright for storage. The assembly may be formed of recyclable plastic itself so that it too may be recycled when the stored bags are deposited to a recycling facility or drop-off bin. In this way, the recyclable bags and the bag holder may be dropped off together as a unit. The bag storage assembly may be adapted to hold up to 50 or more recyclable plastic shopping bags.
