Cannabag manufactures and sells 100% organic hemp bags with our "Buy it Once... Guaranteed for Life™" satisfaction guarantee.
Cannabag's organic hemp crops are grown in an undisclosed location in accordance with the European Union's Organic Certification regulations. Unlike most hemp fabrics, the fabric in our products is processed using a series of fine mechanical combings rather than heavy caustic sodas and acid rinses. Non-chemical processing is environmentally friendly, and preserves the integrity of the hemp fiber, which contributes to a strong and durable fabric. Cannabag manufactures this product with rigorous attention to quality, so that the environmental impact of production, distribution, and life of the bag can be spread over as many years as possible. Hemp fabric is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals. At the end of bag's life, the organic hemp fabric is 100% biodegradable, unlike synthetic materials such as plastic and paper.
Cannabag uses environmentally friendly fiber-reactive and plant-based dyes. Fiber-reactive dyes contain no heavy metals or known toxic substances, and meet all European Union criteria for being environmentally friendly. Fiber-reactive dye molecules bond permanently with fiber molecules, significantly reducing the amount of dye entering the water system through production and home washing. Only plant-based dyes, such as Oak, Bilberry, Pansy, and Oregano are sourced and fixed using only environmentally friendly mordant such as blue stone, alum, salt, and vinegar. All of Cannabag's buttons are made from natural biodegradable materials such as uninhabited sea shells or Tagua nuts that are collected by indigenous peoples from the Amazon rain-forest. Even Cannabag's threads are selected only from factories that hold Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certificates for environmentally friendly production practices.
Our organic hemp fields and processing facility operate under fair trade no-sweatshop guidelines. The employees that make our bags are paid more than the average worker for their region, are given opportunities for advancement within the company, receive medical and retirement plans. They work in a facility that is safe, well-lit, heated, and free of toxic chemicals. We do not employ children. In addition to showing utmost concern for its workers, all products are 100% organic and vegan, containing no products from animal exploitation such as leather or wool.
Cannabag supports and is a member of 1% for the Planet, Hemp Industries Association (HIA) and Green America.
