Bags on the Run offers eco-friendly reusable bags for all purposes. Businesses that respect the Earth and the environment will love using these bags as promotional items by refusing plastic bags in favor of eco-friendly reusable bags. What I think is especially cool about the non-woven polypropylene bags is that they themselves can be recycled. The bags are strong and water repellent so they avoid bacteria and odors. They are also available in a variety of colors, including pink. You can rest assured that the bags contain no toxic materials, no odor and will not cause an allergic reaction to human skin. Also, all dyes used are non-harmful and are colorfast. Check out the company's blog for more Go Green info.

A wonderful option that is offered is custom logo printing on the burlap bags, making them a wonderful way for individuals, as well as organizations, to make a statement about reducing paper and plastic bag consumption. ReJAVAnate's sister company BuyGreen is a wonderful source for finding all of the green earth products you need, including eco-friendly clothing & solar powered lights to name a few.
