ECOBAGS® brand is known as the pioneer brand in the Reusable Bag industry, having kick-started the “reusable bag movement,” in 1989. With so many municipalities looking to reduce or ban plastic bags, reusable bags are now moving into mainstream consciousness. And, with the recent reports of factory atrocities in Bangladesh, the public wants to see and understand how products are produced. What B Corporation does is certify, recognize and bring to attention companies who can be socially and environmentally responsible business partners.
It is important to recognize those companies that use social responsibility as more than a buzz word, those that actually act on their promises and strive to make this world a more habitable place, focusing on sustainable business practices. ECOBAGS® brand makes good on their promise of, “cleaning up the planet, one bag at a time,™" by manufacturing reusable bags made of natural, renewable fibers and by practicing social responsibility and ethical production throughout their supply chain. B Corp awards educate those consumers who wish to shop responsibly how to do so. Because, without a third party reviewing - and rewarding those companies who excel – how is the consumer to tell between the real thing and a farce?
