Reinforcing the company’s ethos of environmental sustainability, Envirosax has taken the ‘move in the right direction’ one step further by introducing the new Organic series. Continuing with the same popular design as the Graphic series, the Organic series is manufactured using a bamboo, linen and a fine grade hemp. The bags come with their own little pouch for easy storage in a glove compartment or handbag.
Envirosax Organic series bags are printed with vegetable based inks and are all packaged in a recycled cardboard box that has been printed with organic soy-based waterless inks.
We were blown away by the quality & style of Envirosax reusable shopping bags. What better way to spread the message of environmental sustainability than with a beautiful, eco-friendly product that you'll love using. Furthermore, they’re produced by a company fully committed to the environment (more on this below).
Design & Functionality Envirosax are for the environmentally conscious consumer that wants a practical, stylish option to wasteful plastic and paper bags. Design features include handle fabric doubled for comfort, reinforced seams for added strength, and long handles for carrying over the shoulder. We appreciate the well thought out details like care instructions printed onto the bag and patterns that extend from the bag body onto the handles.
Each Envirosax orangic series bag stuffs into a separate, compact storage pouch, so it’s easy to always have one with you. The bag expands to hold the equivalent of two grocery plastic bags. To stow, simply fold the bag back into the storage pouch, which is made of the same fabric as the bag, and keep it secure with the handy drawstring.
Materials Made from 100% fine grade hemp. Cultivated in China as early as 4000 BC, the hemp plant produces the strongest natural fibre known. Hemp fabric is three times stronger than cotton fabric of the same weight. With no known insect enemies and a high resistance to disease, there is no need to use harmful pesticides in cultivation.
What Makes This Product Sustainable Envirosax grocery bags are made to last and designed to be reused over and over. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway bags over the course of their lifetime. As with other Ultra-Compact shopping bags we carry, these innovative bags compress down to a tiny size for easy storage and portability so it's easy to always have them handy.
As a company, Envirosax is committed in keeping up to date with sustainable practices around the world, and annually an Envirosax team member attends the International Conferences on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. Check out their website for informative sustainability education resources. Envirosax will even take back old bags and recycle them into stuffing and filler in mattresses, car seats, lounge suites and chairs.
About Envirosax Founded in 2004, Envirosax originates from Currumbin Valley in SE Queensland, Australia. The philosophy of Envirosax is to help create a better future for our planet by spreading the environmental message through color and script using the Envirosax eco-friendly reusable bag as the vehicle. Envirosax aligns with our philosophy of making the whole concept of reusable bags (previously dull, boring and ugly) into something which is trendy, fashionable and functional.
Situated on 10 acres of pristine rainforest, Belinda and Mark David-Tooze, the founders of Envirosax, and their three young children, live an ecologically sustainable lifestyle with solar hot water and photovoltaic cells for electricity. A sewage system recycles waste water, watering the extensive permaculture gardens, and filtered rainwater tanks provide the organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees and the premises with water. The Envirosax team uses renewable and recyclable products where possible, and is committed to operating on ecologically sustainable principles.
