Ekko Solutions

Ekko Jute Bags are natural, ethical, reusable and biodegradable; they are, in short, the eco-friendly alternative to the plastic carrier bags that seem to have taken over the planet.

Throw away plastic bags and other plastic products are filling up our landfills and tainting Australia and New Zealand’s clean green image.

It is estimated that 6 billion plastic bags are used each year in Australia, and 1 billion in New Zealand. That’s approximately 230 bags per person per year and they can take over 1000 years to fully decompose.

It is time we make a substantial and sustainable change to using reusable bags and ground covers to avoid the pollution caused by the tons of plastic we use each year. Free plastic bags are being taxed and banned around the world. In 2007 San Francisco became the first North American city to ban non-recyclable plastic bags. Chinese authorities outlawed plastic bags over 0.025 mm in thickness in June 1 2008. In Victoria, Woolworths (Safeway) are trialling a 10-cent surcharge per plastic bag used in each supermarket in conjunction with the state government.

It is estimated that 1% of bags worldwide are recycled, the rest in up in landfill and have negative effects on our soils and animals.
