Why Recycle Me is a Bagless Company

When RECYCLE ME first started in April 2008, we made a commitment to be a green company in every aspect. Not using plastic bags was one of them.

I did look for recycled paper bags. But, the ones I found were made in China. That didn't make sense for us either since we do everything in the U.S.A.: our organic cotton is grown and spun here and the shirts are sewn, printed and dyes here as well.

At most events people have their own bags or back packs and other companies frequently give bags away as promotional items. We count on that. However, we recently had a friend tell us they get recycled paper bags from a store in Skokie, IL, so we are going to check that out.

Still, I like the idea of being a bagless company.
