The solution is now available!


We're here for good!

That's right - HexaBag is officially "off the ground" and ready for orders.
We've had our heads down for 11 months to get this little life-saver going and we're really excited to say that we're good to go.

Unfortunately, all you consumers out there will have to wait for the HexaBag to hit your local shelves, but you can find out much more about the product and see it in action at www.hexabag.co.za

Remember that this is more than a bag, it's more than a product. It's a reminder that we can all do good for our planet. Soon, HexaBag proceeds will be going toward Ocean Clean-up efforts, so feel good knowing that you or your company are giving a little back.

We're promoting change through smart design - so help us spread the word!


Sincerely
The EcoNerds

Disposable Vs. Reusable


Through the ages, the human race has developed some nasty habits. One of the worst, is creating unnecessary waste, which leads to pollution. The more we realise this, the easier it becomes to deal with the problem. “Reducing” is our key “evolutional step” in the right direction. Our population is growing, our resources dwindling. A product should be
re-usable. You should want to keep it until it no longer works. Then simply recycle it. 

Developing new habits over old ones is what we're asking here. 

Together, we can make a change - don’t forget that!




The 5 Gyres

Our world’s oceans consist of 5 Gyres. These Gyres, otherwise known as vortexes, are collecting mass amounts of plastic waste, chemical sludge and other pollution on a daily basis.
The ocean is painfully collecting all of our junk, at the cost of countless marine and bird life. It’s a battle, and we’ve chosen our side to fight for. 

Proceeds from HexaBag sales will be donated to plastic clean-up projects, because we believe that although we are introducing a re-usable alternative, its not enough to stop there. As human beings we are all responsible to save our own future!
