We are passionate about our planet and we strongly believe that as people we are 100% responsible for protecting our earth and the species that remain on it. In this journey, we realized that the biggest problem was the consumption of one-time plastic in our daily life. Apart from recycling and reducing our consumption, there was a need to find alternatives to our problems. One such area was the overuse of plastic produce bags inside the supermarkets. These bags did not serve any need once we were home and they most likely found their way to the bin.

The statistics based on our usage was shocking. At every visit to the supermarket, we collected an average of at least 10 bags. Which means that we consumed at least 520 bags per year. This got us thinking and we decided to act.

A year ago we started by looking out for various other sustainable options to replace these bags. There was a specific need but now we had to figure out a way to execute it and also to make it available to others. After various experiments with materials, sizes, and quality.

We designed the Upcycle products bags. We tested these bags for freshness of vegetables and fruits. We also tested them for their strength and durability. These bags safely replace the plastic bags currently used i.e. to weigh the items in, get them to barcoded and also scan them over the exit counters.

Moreover, these bags can be stored with the products in the refrigerator too. They are easy to maintain and can be machine washed after use. A simple solution like this can on average reduces the consumption of at least 500 single-use plastic bags each year for a nuclear family.
