Consider Alternatives to Plastic Products

How many plastic bags are littering our environment?

Worldwide 500 billion plastic bags are dumped into our environment each year! These bags have a lasting impact, taking up to 1,000 years to decompose. Not only are they an eyesore, plastic bags get trapped along shorelines, causing significant damage to marine and wildlife.

How much waste is thrown away that may ultimately end up in our landfills?

The amount of waste each person creates has practically doubled in the last 30 years! Today the average person throws away almost 4.6 pounds per day, much of it plastic! That’s over 1000 pounds of waste per person per year that may end up in a landfill.

Reusable Bags

Plastic bags pollute our planet at an alarming rate

• 4 out of 5 shopping bags used in U.S. are plastic
• Only 1-3% are recycled, the rest are found almost everywhere on our planet

ECO Guardian’s reusable bags totally eliminate the need for plastic bags!

• Sturdy and stronger than plastic bags, carrying capacity of 20-35 pounds
