About Us

Our Vision
There were 10,000,000,000 (ten billion) plastic shopping bags used in the UK in 2004¹. Here at Ecosheek we want to do our part in reducing that number.

Almost all plastic carrier bags end up in land fill sites but many end up littering the towns, countryside and beaches of this country, generating negative publicity for the business concerned.

All plastic bags, whether recyclable, biodegradable or re-usable are perceived by the public as environmentally bad¹.

As long as plastic bags are available for free at the checkout there will be a large percentage of people who will simply use them.

We believe there is a rapidly growing market of consumers with “green” aspirations but a modest disposable income who would prefer to use a reusable, environmentally friendly fabric shopping bag.

Thus we want to appeal to the widest possible customer base with a product they can genuinely afford and feel good about purchasing, these bags would then be a viable voluntary alternative to plastic.

We believe in selling our product as clearly as possible, you won’t find any hidden “origination”, “design” or “screen” costs on our website, in every case, the price you see is the price you pay. (the VAT man still gets to add his bit)

Our Company
Ecosheek Bag Company Ltd. was formed in response to the sudden growth in UK public environmental awareness that occurred in the UK around 2004.

Cornish MD Jeremy Curnow has brought together the knowledge and contacts obtained from a decade of working in high volume manufactured goods industries in the USA, Europe and Asia, to focus on providing a cheap and viable solution to our reliance on Plastic bags.

Here at the Ecosheek Bag Co we hope to provide you with an eco-conscious and sustainable alternative to plastic and paper bags. “re-use” is the new “recycle.”
