In 2005, when the plastic bag ban was introduced, Supreme Creations worked with major supermarket brands Tesco, The Co-op, Sainsburys, John Lewis and Waitrose. Over a period of 10 years, they created beautifully designed sustainable, reusable bags made from materials like cotton, canvas and jute. This greatly influenced consumer buyer behaviour in the UK, reducing the use of almost 20 billion single use plastic bags over the years and making reusable bags the standard. In response to the demand, Dr. R. Sri Ram set up one of the most advanced manufacturing facilities, incorporating state of the art printing and fabrication services in his factory in Pondicherry.
