How it does good
According to Waste Management, Americans use 100 billion plastic bags ever year, and only one percent of them are returned for recycling. The rest end up in landfills where they take 1,000 years to biodegrade. Ecobags makes durable, recycled cotton bags made from reclaimed post-industrial organic and natural cotton scrap that would've been sent to landfills. Since 1989, they've sourced only the most environmentally and socially responsible goods available with their ethical production partners in India, way before "social responsibility" was a buzz term.
