Create a Clean, Healthy, and Affordable Lifestyle
Plastic pollution is a growing problem, and ChicoBag is on a mission to tackle it at its source: single-use plastics. Their vision? A world where reusable products are the norm, not the exception.
ChicoBag’s mission statement is clear: “Helping Humanity Bag The Single-Use Habit.” They achieve this by offering high-quality, long-lasting alternatives to disposable bags, utensils, and containers. Their products are designed to be used over and over again, reducing reliance on the throw-away culture that’s choking our planet.
But ChicoBag goes beyond simply replacing plastic. Sustainability is woven into the fabric of their entire operation. They use certified recycled materials in their products, ensuring they’re made from waste given a new life. Their commitment extends to ethical manufacturing practices and fair labor rules, ensuring their products are made responsibly.
The company also prioritizes minimizing waste in their own operations. They strive for zero-waste wherever possible, further reducing their environmental footprint.
By making sustainability a core value, ChicoBag goes beyond just selling products. They’re on a mission to educate and empower consumers to make a difference. Their reusable bags are a daily reminder to choose a more sustainable path, one trip to the store at a time.
ChicoBag’s vision for a plastic-free future is ambitious, but achievable. By offering attractive, durable alternatives and prioritizing environmental responsibility throughout their business, they’re inspiring a wave of change. So next time you reach for a plastic bag, consider a reusable option instead. It’s a small step towards a healthier planet, and ChicoBag is here to help you take it.
We had the pleasure of meeting some of the great people at the ChicoBag company during our visit to Expo West. First let me say, the presentation these guys put together was amazing, but their passion shined as they spoke with visitors about their mission behind ChicoBag.
In early 2004, I took a trip to the local landfill after spending the day landscaping my backyard. I was horrified by how many single-use bags filled the scene. Plastic bags blanketed the landscape in a thin mix of white and beige plastic.
On my way home, I continued to notice plastic bags everywhere; caught in trees and on fence posts, half drowned in gutter puddles and blowing in the streets like urban tumbleweeds. I vowed to stop using single-use bags for good. Inspired, I dropped a few bucks on a secondhand sewing machine and began sewing what would ultimately become the first ChicoBag brand reusable bag.
