This Bag Saves is a customer led sustainability platform that allows businesses to shine a light on the difference they are making through moving into better materials. By being transparent about the impact of products we can help usher a new era of responsible production and consumption, and to aid in regenerating the world.

At Grounded we are focused on material innovation and on replacing non-recyclable, fossil fuel derived plastics with better alternatives.

Carbon is one of the central issues facing the world today. Grounded has done the hard work to find and develop materials that have a lower carbon footprint. We’ve also built a sophisticated carbon footprint calculator to allow us to model out different materials and supply chains. A majority of our materials have a significant carbon improvement over traditional plastics. But for any remaining carbon footprint we have targeted, meaningful carbon offset programs. All of the carbon credits we buy are verified either by Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard.

Our oceans are drowning in plastic. 9 million tonnes of it. To tackle this, we’ve created the Ocean Plastic Rescue program. With every customer purchase contributing to the removal of ocean bound plastics. The locations for -2022 are the Philippines and Indonesia who are respectively ranked #1 and #5 in plastic waste emissions.
