AT BYOB,
IT’S ALWAYS
EARTH DAY!
At Bring Your Own Bag, it’s our mission above everything else to provide our customers with reusable solutions that help our planet.
When we think about Earth Day at BYOB, we think about it as more than a day, but as a movement. We want to make every day feel like Earth Day, and one of the ways we do that is by offering products like our RPET Bags.
RPET stands for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, a material made from recycled pop bottles and recycled cotton. It’s a green alternative to the standard virgin plastic bags you can find at most grocery stores and retailers. The durable fabric our RPET bags is made from has become an increasingly popular solution in the grocery and
retail world because when you use RPET bags, you’re making a positive impact on the environment.
Furthermore, when you buy RPET bags at BYOB, you not only help the environment, but you help to contribute to a collection of not-for-profits that do great environmental work. Through our partnership with 1% For The Planet, BYOB donates 1% of qualifying program sales to non-profit organizations working to preserve the planet we call home. But why are we so committed to this mission? Consider that following:
The average reusable bag has a lifespan equal to that of more than 700 disposable plastic bags, and just one person using reusable bags over their lifetime could potentially eliminate more than 22,000 plastic bags from the environment.
Only 1% of plastic bags that get used worldwide are returned for recycling by consumers.
Studies also estimate there are now 15 to 51 trillion pieces of plastic in the world’s oceans, and that not one square mile of the ocean’s surface anywhere on earth is free of plastic pollution.
At the end of the day, we don’t just want to highlight the importance of sustainable practices on one day of the year. Earth Day 2022 is fast approaching, but it’s important to us that we embrace green practices year-round, and we want to show
that through the work we do, the initiatives we support, and the programs we build.

FABRIC OPTIONS FOR ANY OCCASION!
As the reusable bag industry has evolved and the needs of our environment have changed, so has BYOB.
We take pride in offering our customers with as many manufacturing options as possible to fit all your needs. Our product line gives you the ability to utilize many different fabric options in your reusable bag program while investing
in bags that are more environmentally sustainable over the long term. Whether you are selling reusable bags in your storefront, or are using them as promotional items for your latest event, BYOB has the right bag to fit what you’re looking for.
Polypropylene is the tradition way to go, as it’s both lightweight and sturdy, and perfect for carrying loads of groceries from the store to the car to the front door. But nowadays, we’ve taken environmental sustainability to the next level with bags made from and PCR (Post Consumer Recycled Materials) and the aforementioned RPET bags. These bags are made from recycled materials, which helps us to limit how much virgin plastic is used in the manufacturing of our bags. It’s also great for the end user, as it helps you tell a story about your own journey towards sustainability.
Durable and strong fabric options such as Organic Cotton, Natural Canvas, and Jute are also available. These provide a rugged yet trendy look to your bags, and provide an abundance of added value for the customers purchasing them at your check-outs. And don’t forget about paper! We have paper options available as well for those looking for an alternative to the traditional single-use plastic bag.
Speaking of single-use plastics, our latest innovation seeks to scrap the need for single-use plastic bags altogether. Our new and revolutionary T-shirt bags, made from thin gauge non-woven
polypropylene, are the perfect solution to your check-out needs. Held together by robust ultrasonic welded seams, it’s the ideal quick and easy bag to provide to your customers at a low price point, encouraging them to bring it back the next time they swing by your shop.
At the end of the day, BYOB has bags for all occasions in a near-endless amount of fabric options. And our incredibly talented graphics team can help make your creative marketing vision a reality.
