Reinforcing the company’s ethos of environmental sustainability, Envirosax has taken the ‘move in the right direction’ one step further by introducing the new Organic series. Continuing with the same popular design as the Graphic series, the Organic series is manufactured using a bamboo, linen and a fine grade hemp. The bags come with their own little pouch for easy storage in a glove compartment or handbag.

Envirosax Organic Series bags are printed with vegetable based inks and are all packaged in a recycled cardboard box that has been printed with organic soy-based waterless inks.

We were blown away by the quality & style of Envirosax reusable shopping bags. They’re lightweight, portable, waterproof and surprisingly roomy - bag volume is bigger than other ultra-compacts we offer and each holds about double what you can fit in a standard plastic grocery bag. Plus, they look fantastic! What better way to spread the message of environmental sustainability than with a beautiful, eco-friendly product that you'll love using? Furthermore, they’re produced by a company fully committed to the environment (more on this below).

Design & Functionality
Envirosax are for the environmentally-conscious consumer who wants a practical, stylish option to plastic and paper bags. Design features include double-fabric handle for comfort, reinforced seams for added strength, and long handles for carrying over the shoulder. We appreciate the well thought-out details like care instructions printed onto the bag and patterns that extend from the bag body onto the handles.

Each Envirosax Graphic Series bag rolls up into a tiny, compact package so it’s easy to always have one with you - small enough to stow into a glove compartment or a handbag. To use, unsnap its closure tab and unroll. The bag expands to hold the equivalent of two grocery plastic bags. To stow, simply fold the bag into thirds, roll up (like a sleeping bag), wrap tabs and snap together. An added benefit of rolling the bag is that it smoothes out fabric creases and wrinkles, keeping it looking like new. Use the pouch included to conveniently and neatly stow all 5 bags (pouch snaps shut to secure the bags, and includes a handy loop).

Materials
Made of 100% linen.

Sustainability
Envirosax grocery bags are made to last and designed to be reused over and over again. Using them can help eliminate thousands of throwaway bags over the course of their lifetime. As with other Ultra-Compact shopping bags we carry, these innovative bags compress down to a tiny size for easy storage and portability so you’re more likely to have them with you.

As a company, Envirosax is committed in keeping up to date with sustainable practices around the world, and annually an Envirosax team member attends the International Conferences on Environmental, Cultural, Economic and Social Sustainability. Check out their website for informative sustainability education resources. Envirosax will even take back old bags and recycle them into stuffing and filler in mattresses, car seats, lounge suites and chairs.

    This is a beautiful bag

    by Lauren S - 08/2008

    This is a beautiful bag. The texture and pattern are very soothing. However, the bag is much heavier than the synthetic versions, which I hadn't considered prior to purchasing. I haven't used it enough yet to see how it will hold up long-term, but it seems well-made.

    This is a great bag, very roomy - it comes with it

    by Koren C - 06/2008

    This is a great bag, very roomy - it comes with its own drawstring pouch so it doesn't take up much space in my purse. I use this bag for when I shop for clothes. I got tired of amassing a huge collection of shopping bags! Also, tell your cashier not to wrap your clothes in tissue paper anymore - it's a waste!
