Ecoternatives has researched several different reusable storage bags. These were by far the best in terms of the company’s environmental standards and durability of the bags. Several other bags we’ve used were deceivingly short-lived which is hypocritical to sustainability.
The average American family uses 500 Ziploc bags every year. All this plastic contributes towards the 12 million+ barrels of oil used annually to make just plastic bags alone.
Chicobag, like ourselves, were created by environmentalists, with the goal to form a truly zero-waste company with the most eco-friendly product possible.
We're proud to say that Chicobag is a part of 1% for the planet, meaning they donate 1 percent of their annual sales to important global causes. They're also a certified B Corporation with a commitment to reduced environmental impact.
