Working Together for Change
We’re proud to help this sustainable products company increase its social impact. Repreve diverts plastic bottles from the landfill, offsetting the need to refine new crude oil. Similarly, BlueAvocado is reducing the use of plastic bags, also derived from natural resources.
Since its founding in 2008, BlueAvocado products have:
- Eliminated more than 20 million plastic bags from the waste stream
- Avoided 1 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions
- Upcycled up to 277 thousand plastic bottles through the fabric
- Inspired over 100 micro-entrepreneurs globally by donating 1% of sales to organizations such as Kiva.org and Whole Planet Foundation
- Inspired thousands of Americans to join the green journey
Practical Made Beautiful
A highlight of the new collection is the “lunch box” series. BlueAvocado collaborated with OXO and Bloomingdale’s to create practical, machine-washable pieces in three sizes—designed to protect and insulate OXO Lock Top containers. Extremely portable, the fabric boxes collapse to wallet size when not in use. They can also double as cosmetic bags or medicine carriers.
