Zero waste living with plastic free produce bags

The inspiration behind our organic produce bags...

We don’t know about you, but we find farmers markets and bulk food stores very inspiring for a sustainable and ethical lifestyle and wanted to create a series of beautiful products that are going to support others in their journey to reducing waste and plastic consumption. Our idea to create Zero Waste Produce Bags came from a few different places, these being: our overwhelming feeling of wanting to reduce our impact on the planet, creating a product that is both practical, saves money and is aesthetically pleasing and a dream to create produce bags that are unlike any you’ve ever seen before. We know that many brands already create produce bags and bulk food bags but we bet you haven’t seen any that are made from 100% recycled materials AND are designed using natural and botanical dyes…
Using organic produce bags for sustainable and ethical living

Our organic produce bags - The story behind the art...

Imagine a world without waste, one without pollution and a guaranteed green and clean future. It’s a little bit difficult isn’t it when the world is heading the way it is and when consumerism and money are more important than the air we breathe and the water we drink. In reality, if everyone was to change a few small habits for very simple and easy alternatives, we could actually make a huge and positive impact together! For example, did you know that over one trillion plastic bags are used annually across the globe? That’s nearly two million every minute… This is such an excessive amount of plastic to be produced and yet, it’s purely for convenience. The great thing is, there is a solution, reusable, fabric produce bags that have been created with 100% recycled materials and that are healthy for the planet, safe for children and better for your wallet. The bonus is, you’ll feel wonderful knowing that by using these zero waste produce bags, you are helping to prevent those one trillion plastic bags from being created and either being tossed into landfill or ending up in our oceans…
Eco-friendly living with organic produce bags and homegrown fruit and vegetables

Wondering how our organic produce bags are created?

The first step of the process is to gather pieces of recycled fabric from op shops around Brisbane. We look for white textiles that are durable and clean and once we’ve gathered a small collection, we take them back to our workshop to wash in rain water and environmentally friendly washing liquid before hanging them out in the sun to dry.  In the meantime, we also begin preparing our botanical and natural dyes by using items that are considered ‘food waste’ such as avocado seeds, onion skins and coffee grinds which we source from our local cafes and fruit shops. This helps us to reduce waste within the community and work towards a circular economy. The dye takes around 3 hours to create and then we soak the pieces of recycled fabric for around 12 hours before they’re ready to hang outside to dry. After that, we begin the sewing process and hem all the edges before bringing the zero waste produce bags to life!
Eco-friendly shipping and packaging for sustainable and ethical businesses

Eco-friendly shipping & packaging - From Sophia. to you...

We only dye small batches of recycled fabric ahead of time to ensure that we are not creating excess produce bags when they’re not needed. Once we’ve received your order, we’ll select a very special set of produce bags from our studio shelves and get them ready to send from our workshop to your front door. Firstly, we bundle the three bags together with a beautiful strand of 100% recycled copper wire and then place them into a box or envelope which has been crafted with 100% recycled cardboard and paper. We also include three extra little surprises for you inside the package, but we don’t want to spoil all the secrets now… We will let you know though that you’re going to receive an exclusive invitation to join the Sophia. Sisterhood of Sustainability which is an inspiring and empowering community that we have created. We launched it with the purpose of helping women from around the world to start or improve on their sustainable living journeys, as well as giving you the opportunity to share your own advice, win wonderful prizes, get involved in our eco events and projects and join in on our zero waste challenges. Once your order is packed and ready to go, we use a carbon neutral shipping company – Sendle to deliver your zero waste produce bags because we want to create the least amount of impact on our planet with each step of our process. As a bonus, your purchase will also enable us to remove 100 pieces of rubbish from the environment and invest a percentage of the profits towards reforesting areas for Australian wildlife.

​ I’ve been loving taking these produce bags to the markets and packing my fruit and vegetables in each one. They’re a great size and look so pretty. I’ve also started to think of a few other things I can use them for because I want to buy another set!

​These produce bags are absolutely terrific! I bought some from other brands previously but they don’t seem to keep my groceries fresh for as long as the Sophia. ones do. Thanks for creating such a pretty zero waste collection…
