Doy Bags Eco Friendly Bags

Doy Bags are made in the Philippines by a women's group, the Women's Multi-Purpose Cooperative based near Manila. The cooperative produces approximately 500,000 bags and household items per year, thus preventing many millions of juice packs and candy wrappers from being burnt, buried or simply littering the streets and waterways. The Women's Multi-Purpose Cooperative has won a number of awards in the Philippines for its concern for the environment and its outstanding contribution to waste recycling and employment generation.
