Double G

DOUBLE G (Post-Consumer Recycled Plastic Bags - LDPE)

The raw material is made of 100% post-consumer recycled grocery bags, each swatch individually unique, based on the color palette chosen. The grocery bags are collected from the streets of India. These bags become a litter liability during the rainy season by clogging the drainage system.

The collection of bags creates jobs for local home bound women, who previously were unable to hold a full time job while watching after their children.

All bags are cleaned in a non-toxic solution and separated by color. They then go through a unique process where they are stripped and pressed to create beautiful color patterns. No inks or dyes are added.

Each item is unique, though there is consistency per color palette.  Note: The interior lining of some items, hardware and trim is not made of the recycled material.

By working with this special material we are truly addressing the triple bottom line, people (providing new jobs), planet (cleaning up the streets) and profit (building a new market).
