Consider a world in which all people were content to simply ignore their ecological footprint on the world. There would have been no David Attenborough, no WWF, no solar panels, no dolphin-free tuna and no alternative to the average of 500 plastic shopping bags used by individuals each year.
No hope, it would seem, for the future. Envirosax is proud to help protect the environment for tomorrow’s offspring by providing an eco-friendly alternative to
plastic shopping bags that threaten a healthy eco-system. Envirosax bags are lightweight, portable, waterproof and each one holds the equivalent of two supermarket plastic bags thanks to reinforced seams. To view the full range of Envirosax and enter our online shop click on

Envirosax believes in environmental sustainability. Plastic bags clog drains and cause flooding. They pollute rivers and streams, killing animals and destroy our plants. They take years to photodegrade and have a very short life span.
Envirosax, an advocate for environmental sustainability
donates a percentage of all web sales to the Australian Marine Conservation Society, a national, non-profit charity dedicated to protecting our ocean wildlife.
Envirosax® originates from Currumbin Valley in South East Queensland, Australia. The Envirosax team uses renewable and recyclable products where possible, and is committed to operating on ecologically sustainable principles.
Situated on 10 acres of pristine Australian rainforest, Belinda and
Mark David-Tooze the founders of Envirosax and their three young
children, live an ecologically sustainable lifestyle with solar hot
water and photovoltaic cells for electricity. A sewage system recycles
waste water, watering the extensive permaculture gardens and filtered
rainwater tanks provide the organic vegetable gardens, fruit trees and
the premises with water. Both ranges of Envirosax polyester and hemp bags are designed in
Australia and made in China, under fair wage and fair labour
conditions. We personally inspect the factories ourselves and our last
inspection trip was October 2007. We have a direct working relationship
with our factory managers, we do NOT use agents or middlemen.
Envirosax is committed to spreading the environmental message across the globe. Envirosax feels it has a responsibility to help educate the global community in the four areas of sustainability, environmental, social, cultural and economic. Visit the

Envirosax® ~ The Logo
The three bags signify the environmental alternative to plastic bags. Each of the images that appear on the bags has a philosophy behind it. The leaf represents flora and the eco-friendly nature of the bags; the fragile butterfly represents fauna whose habitat is conserved through the eradication of plastic bags. The classic “recycle” logo is captured with a brush stroke, which also recognises the artists involved in designing Envirosax®
