BAGGU
BAGGU makes simple, playful things for everyday living.
For much of BAGGU's history, our sustainability efforts focused on the elimination and minimization of waste in our operations and production processes. Sustainability can feel daunting and complex, and given our limited resources as a small company, prioritizing waste reduction felt like a natural focus — an extension of our mission to eliminate single use plastic bags.
Minimal Waste Design
To minimize waste and increase durability, our reusable bags are assembled from one continuous piece of recycled nylon material, with the neck of the bag used to construct the carrying pouch. This is one of the ways in which we work to eliminate waste during the actual construction of our products, and we are working to better implement this idea across our entire product line.
Designing For Longevity
Designing bags sustainably means designing them to last. We want every bag we make to live a long, productive life so we prioritize quality, ensuring our materials and construction hold up over time and age with character. We also do this by staying true to our creative vision at any given moment — we always want the things we make to feel timely and relevant, but we do our best to avoid chasing trends.
As Few Materials as Possible
We intentionally design into a limited set of core materials. This lets us put more resources into the development of each fabrication, understand its social and environmental impact, and verify it's long-term durability. By buying deeper into fewer fabric stocks, we can avoid fabric waste and reduce the cost of recycled fabrications.
