ChicoBag Company

20 Years of Carrying Better This Earth Day, ChicoBag turns 20. What started as a simple idea at a landfill has grown into two decades of building reusables that last—and helping people and businesses cut back on single-use. Through our Custom Program, we’ve worked with hundreds of brands to design co-branded ChicoBag gear that replaces plastic and reduces throwaway promo waste. Reusables that don’t end up in the trash—and don’t feel like an afterthought. If your team is looking for a simple way to show up sustainably, we’d love to work together.

This Earth Day feels different. ChicoBag turns 20 this year. Two decades of building reusables that last—and helping people cut back on single-use. To mark the moment, we’re giving back to some of the businesses and organizations that share this mission. This month’s giveaway winners: • Kelly Downs at Monterey County Beekeepers Association is getting 100 custom ChicoBags to support her nonprofit community • Linda Rosenberg at HALO Branded Solutions is receiving a full set of our sustainability starter kits • Naomi Salo at Encore Marketing Solutions is taking home the full Plastic Free Parks collection we created with 5 Gyres If you’re not on this month’s list, the next giveaway is already coming. The next drawing happens May 30. You only have to enter once to be part of all future drawings. And if you're looking for a way to bring this kind of impact to your own community, take a look at our Custom Program. It's how we help brands create reusables that people actually want to carry and never feel like throwaway swag. Thanks for being part of the last 20 years. Let’s keep going.

Ever think about how much waste is hiding in plain sight? On this week’s episode of the ChicoBag Podcast, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes walks us through how waste is more than just trash—it’s a lens to understand some of the biggest challenges we face today, from climate change to public health. He shares stories from his new book Total Garbage, including: ✅ Why gas stoves are a bigger health risk than we think ✅ How a Georgia town runs on golf carts instead of cars ✅ Why plastic pollution is turning up in… our brains ✅ And why addressing waste can save lives and money This conversation left us fired up to rethink the way we live, consume, and design solutions. And with Earth Day around the corner, there’s no better time to tune in. 🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gDqv56Sr 🌍 Learn more: www.edwardhumes.com

As part of our commitment as a 1% for the Planet Member, we’re proud to support Seatrees — an organization restoring blue carbon ecosystems like mangrove forests and kelp beds that protect coastlines, support local communities, and fight climate change at the root. Their work is bold, science-backed, and driven by local action — and that’s exactly the kind of partnership we believe in. With Earth Day around the corner, now’s the time to double down on solutions that regenerate instead of extract. When businesses work together, we can move the needle toward real, lasting impact. Let’s grow something meaningful — together. #EarthMonth #OurPowerOurPlanet #SeaTreesEarthMonth #OnePercentForThePlanet #ClimateLeadership #ChicoBag #BlueCarbon #BCorp #PurposeDrivenBusiness #RegenerationNotDestruction #SustainabilityInAction

Have you heard? We launched the ChicoBag Podcast. Our first episode features Lauren Watkins from Ecochallenge.org, where we dig into something both personal and practical: what it really takes to create change — at work, in our habits, and in our communities. For anyone asking, “Where do I start?” — the EcoChallenge might be your answer. These team-based sustainability challenges help people take small, actionable steps that ripple outward. And it works. Thousands of participants around the world are proving that tiny shifts — like composting at home, talking to a neighbor, or making sustainable purchases — add up to real impact. If you're part of a company, school, or community organization, this is a chance to align your values with action in a way that engages your whole team. 🔗 Join the Earth Month EcoChallenge: https://lnkd.in/gY9XcmDx 🎧 Listen to the episode: https://lnkd.in/g5rEqSmM Because when we connect over shared values, we don’t just talk about sustainability — we build it together. #ChicoBagPodcast #EcoChallenge #SustainabilityLeadership #BehaviorChange #EarthMonth #ClimateAction #CollectiveImpact
