Eco-Bags Products, Inc.
How do ECOBAGS® products fit into the green packaging world? We often sell our ECOBAGS® brand products as packaging, be they drawstring bags or larger lunch bags, to hotels, food service vendors, restaurants, spas and more. Our customers love the quality experience, the great service and our outstanding products.
“We started our business by seeding the minds of consumers with a simple concept based on our own aversion to single use – mostly thin plastic supermarket bags,” says Sharon, often credited with jump starting the Bring Your Own Bag movement. “From there, an entire cottage industry has blossomed.”
Expanded & innovative product lines, true certifications of fair wage/fair labor standards and outstanding customer service are the strategies that keep Eco-Bags Products growing. “It’s a combination of all of these factors,” says Rowe.
“We source our Eco-Bags products based on quality of materials & workmanship and also with fair labor standards. We look at our products and say, ‘what other things could businesses use these for?’,” says Rowe, who has seen some interesting uses for their drawstring bags, ranging from spice samples to hair dryer bags in hotels.
“Not all reusable bags are created equal, not all products are produced under safe or fair working conditions and our commitment to really high quality products at great prices sets us apart.”
Eco-Bags Products, Inc. is based in Ossining, NY. ECOBAGS® brand products are available for sale online at ECOBAGS.com and through retailers nationwide.
