2. Mission And Vision
Our Mission is to design, produce and deliver bags that can be
effectively used as purchase carriers and garbage bags in one single
bag.
Our Vision is to create a new standard in bags that the final clients
can easily implement in their lives, reducing the use of plastic in the
environment and helping to recycle.
3. What Is An Effibag®?
Effibag®is a tailored bag that includes handlers and a closing mechanism on top.
After carrying groceries or products purchased, the bag doubles as a full-working
garbage bag.
The design, shape and material of the bag is completely adaptable to the needs of
every retailer.
4. 1https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_lightweight_plastic_bags
We all want a better world, but some of us are not ready to change
our habits.
The plastic bags are a good example of this.
There are public bans by law worldwide1, but we resist to change
the way we buy and carry our purchases.
Effibag® was created to help decrease the use of plastic bags,
favor recycling, and give a competitive advantage to those retailers
that incorporate Effibag® as their carrying solution.
Summary
5. The Life Of A One-use, Disposable, Plastic Bag
It is given to us in a store now for free, or we can pay for it.
We use it once carrying our purchases.
We store it for a while, normally in a “bag of bags” under the sink or
in a drawer.
After a while, we might re-use it (10% of the times, roughly).
When the “bag of bags” gets to be too big, we throw it away, and we
start over with the collection.
6. There is a global quest to reduce the use of plastic bags that are for
one use as give-aways in stores. These bags are often seen as bad
for the enviroment, and there is a proactive movement to lower their
production and their use.
Effibag® comes to help solve this issue without changing the habits
of the final client.
Our bag is a grocery bag, but REALLY READY to be re-used at
least once, as a completely working garbage bag.
This way, the final client has the chance to re-use the plastic,
recycle and use less bags in their daily life.
Present Situation
7. How Can A Plastic Bag Help With Using Less Plastic Bags?
1) We provide a competitive advantage to those retailers that use
Effibag®, wether charging for the bags or giving them away.
2) Following the one-use bags ban policy that is taking over the country,
singe Effibag® is not a one-use plastic bag, so it can be given away.
3) As the ban is on FREE plastic bags, we can create a new revenue
stream for the retailers, who can sell them instead of giving them away 2
4) Reduction of the amount of plastic bags in the enviroment.
1 bag that is actually re-used for garbage means 1 less garbage bag to be used.
5) Pushing the recycling path
As the bags will be used more than once , it means final clients will actually be recycling
6) We won’t be changing the habits of the final client in the store

8. And How Much Does It Cost?
The cost of Effibag® depends on what kind of bag, design,
grammage (thickness), materials, amount and size you want.
Our goal is to match the present price of the bags the retailers are
giving away or to provide a product that is self-sustained (sales
instead of give-aways).
9. Adaptability To The Present And Future Needs
As this is a tailor-made solution, we work under order.
For each necessity (resale or give -way, ) there is a design to be made and a cost
to reach, so that it makes sense to the retailer.
Also, we can produce the bags ourselves or license the production to the present
providers of bags that the retailer is most comfortable with.
We ensure the delivery of the desired orders to our clients, wether via third party
manufacturing, licensing or manufacturing ourselves.
