Earthwise Bags
Our first reusable bags were marketed locally in 2005 out of the trunk of a car. Plastic bag pollution littered our streams, parks, fields, roadsides, and oceans. Launching our mission to “Choose to Reuse,” we have partnered with our customers and communities to inspire sustainable transformation. Since our founding, Earthwise has expanded in research and development to create a full range of solutions. Today, we have grown to operate with a dedicated design team, international and domestic manufacturing partners, and a fully integrated supply chain that are all in alignment with our sustainable vision. Likewise, we serve our customers by partnering with them on their goals, with incremental improvements to reduce their carbon footprint. From selling reusable bags out of the trunk of a car, to establishing a global ecosystem of partners, our story is just beginning. We look forward to you joining our global community.
