One of a number of key EcoChic principles is to create a better & more considerd future for our planet. One way to do this is through spreading the eco message with our re-usable bags.
Single-use plastic bags take years to deteriorate, they cause huge environmental problems too and have been linked to flooding, polluting rivers and destroying animal and plant life. In the Atlantic Ocean a huge graveyard of plastic garbage has been discovered. The size is three times as big as Spain & Portugal combined. This plastic soup is collected by ocean currents that keeps the soup thick and continuing to grow.
Scientists have examined small lantern fish who have been found to have digested small amounts of plastic. There is now scientific evidence that this plastic soup causes more trouble to ocean animal life than previously thought. Indeed the food cycle is effected with the fish who have absorbed the plastic are then eaten by birds and the toxins with high levels of PCB’s find there way into the food chain. Michael Braunhart, the creator of the cradle-to-cradle concept, argues for biodegradable plastic in bottles and bags. Experts say there is no excuse to keep throwing plastic away and the resulting effects these pollutants cause to nature and the environment.
EcoChic provides a stylish, eco-friendly alternative for single-use bags with the stylish and hip re-usable totes of Rume and Envirosax and proudly help protect the environment for future generations.
These bags are lightweight, versatile, durable and designed for daily use, each one holds the equivalent of two supermarket plastic bags. The carryall folds down to the size of a café latte cup. Over-the-shoulder handles allow for convenient carrying of groceries, beach gear and daily accessories that us girls all like to carry.
Both re-usable bags are made from polyester, which is also a plastic. Why?
The fundamental problem with conventional plastic bags is that they are not designed to be re-used. The philosophy of EcoChic is to provide a fashionable, stylish product designed to be durable, and despite some drawbacks, polyester is the best material to set this purpose. It is lightweight and allows bags to be rolled up in a very compact package, which encourages people to carry the bag with them and increase re-use. It is highly durable and fashionable print made to be a elegant bag that everyone would want to use.
So why waste paper and plastic bags? You can reuse these bags day after day, week after week! Our eco bags lasts us to 4 to 5 years, replacing an estimated 5.000 plastic bags.
EcoChic also presents the Kids bags, the perfect bag to teach your kids to be eco friendly!
EcoChic is also taking it one step further by introducing the Organic Series, manufactured from natural fibers including viscose from bamboo, linen and a fine grade hemp.
