Envirosax

Envirosax are a designer range of eco-friendly, reusable shopping bags, for spreading the message of reuse for environmental sustainability. Envirosax have been prized partners since 2006.


Using eco-friendly reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags is a culturethat is evolving over time. Envirosax bags makes the ‘move in the right direction’ easier by providing a bag that rolls up and becomes a lightweight and portable, 40 gram package.


The philosophy of Envirosax is to help create a better future for our planet by spreading the environmental message through colour and script using the Envirosax eco-friendly bag as the vehicle. Envirosax produce a range of funky eco-friendly bags produced from organic bamboo, organic linen, organic hemp or polyester (with designer graphics).


Envirosax originates from Currumbin Valley in South East Queensland, Australia. The Envirosax team uses renewable and recyclable products where possible, and is committed to operating on ecologically sustainable principles.  Situated on 10 acres of pristine Australian rainforest, Belinda and Mark David-Tooze the founders of Envirosax and their three young children, live an ecologically sustainable lifestyle with solar hot water and photovoltaic cells for electricity. A sewage system recycles waste water, watering the extensive permaculture gardens and filtered rainwater tanks provide the organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees and the premises with water. Both ranges of Envirosax polyester and hemp bags are designed in Australia and made in China, under fair wage and fair labour conditions. The team personally inspect the factories themselves and their last inspection trip was October 2007.
