QWhat are your eco-friendly and socially business practices?
A

The owners of Goody Green Bag are dedicated to preserving the environment and make it a priority to continually use the most environmentally positive products to reduce our individual carbon footprints.
Additionally, we have committed to donating a large quantity of our bags for 2009 Earth Day events. We have partnered with a Chicago suburban school to donate bags for school fund raising events and to underprivileged families at this school.

QAre Goody Green Bags made from recyclable materials?
A

When we produced our initial prototypes, we spent considerable time researching the pros/cons of producing bags made from recycled materials. We found that it's actually worse for the environment to re-tool old material, recycle it and make it into bags, than to start with raw materials.
Our factory had advised us that it takes more energy to produce recycled products than it does the raw materials. Doing this would also double our cost and we'd have to double our retail price. We are trying to provide consumers with simple and realistic ways to commit to the environment and make these small lifestyle changes. Our goal is to keep our bags durable, functional and fashion forward at an affordable price.

QWhat are Goody Green Bags made from?
A

Goody Green Bags are made from non-woven polypropylene coated, water resistant material that is light weight, durable, fire resistant and washable. Our bags are extremely durable and should last a long period of time, but if/when you are ready to discard, they are 100% recyclable.

QWhere are Goody Green Bags produced?
A

Our bags are designed and distributed in the U.S., but manufactured overseas in China. We can assure that our factory practices strict quality control processes and meets all fair trade guidelines. One of our team members visits our factory once a month to oversee production and ensure that only the highest standards are met.

As a matter of fact, our factory is one of the leading factories to produce a majority of the reusable bags in China where there is a plastic bag ban.

QThere are so many reusable bags out there. What makes Goody Green Bag unique?
A

We feel that our strongest points of difference are the style and construction of Goody Green Bags. Our bags are durable, fashionable and functional. Our fun and fresh patterns make it appealing and desirable for shoppers to balance the pressure to be eco-friendly with the desire to stay stylish--encouraging individuals to bring their own bag and continue to reuse it.

All our bags fold down into an envelope size to make it easy for consumers to store bags in their car or purse so they always have them on hand when shopping. They are also great for travel since they don't take up any room in your suitcase, but fold out to a full size beach bag, gym bag, souvenir tote or extra carry-on.

Our bags are roomy to make it easy to do a large shopping trip. The long handles keep it comfortable to tote bags to the parking lot or even through a mall when retail shopping.

Additionally, our price point is competitive and affordable. We wanted to produce a bag that consumers would find reasonable so each person would be encouraged to make a simple eco-friendly change.

QHow many different bag sizes do you sell?
A

We currently only offer one size bag with the following dimensions:
-Folded: 7.5” long x 4.5” high
-Flat: 15” long x 18.5” high, 2.75” sides & bottom, 24” handles

We are currently working on a larger bag construction and hope to launch the new style Spring 2009. The dimensions will be as follows:
-18" long x 16" high, 6" sides and bottom gusset, 22" handles
