About Us

about_usOur Company

Friendly Bags LLC is a company dedicated to helping businesses become more eco-friendly and environmentally conscious. We are a US company with branches in the UK and Israel. We believe that companies need to take environmental responsibilities in their business, and still retain their customers while increasing their satisfaction. In these times of eco-awareness, both individuals and businesses need to take responsibility for our precious planet. Though this concept is well-known, it is still clouded by many preconceptions as to their implementation; such as the high costs involved, the disruption of business activity and customer purchase behavior. This is why we believe in helping businesses not only become more eco-friendly, but also become a guiding light for those other individuals and businesses that are still shrouded in the misconceptions about being “green”. For us “being green” is something that should NOT be considered as a marketing move or a sales pitch, but rather as a holistic lifestyle of conducting business.

Companies are usually thought to be influenced to become more environmentally conscious by their customers. Though this may be true for some businesses, we believe they shouldn’t. At Friendly Bags LLC we believe in making companies more eco-friendly in such a way that they may also influence their customers, their suppliers, their counterparts, and even… their competitors.

Eco-consciousness is only the beginning of it all; environmental awareness does not only pertain to eco-friendliness with regards to our planet, but also to our surroundings, be they the nature that surrounds us, our living quarters, or our social environment. We believe in conducting our business in a friendly manner (hence our NAME), and not in the traditional, cold, business-like fashion thought by many to be the way to conduct business. You will feel this friendliness in any conversation with our staff: always courteous, never formal, and always friendly!

Our Products

Our Friendly Bags are sourced from the US, Canada and China, and are all made from all natural ingredients. They do not contain plastic or any type of PE (polyethylene). All our bags are certified by ASTM D6400 as well as EN 13432, and are therefore compostable in industrial composters. Since they are made from all natural ingredients, once exposed to the open air, in waterways, or buried under the ground, micro-organisms start eating the bags as they contain plant fibers.

Moreover, the ingredients used to make the bags are never from plants grown especially for making our bags.

One never knows what happens to the product after it is disposed of, and in our business, this factor is the most important. This is eco-consciousness at its best! You have our 100% guarantee that our products will biodegrade once they leave your possession. We take great care in preparing for this situation, to help you rest assured that our Friendly Bags do not harm the Earth in any way; from manufacturing to product, we take care not to harm the Earth as best we can.

Our Friendly Bags all conform to international (ISO), American (ASTM), and European (EN) standards, and as such are the highest quality biodegradable plastic bags available on the market today. Our manufacturing plants conform to fair trade, and all our business is conducted fairly and honestly with our clients. We believe in supplying your business only the best and the highest quality eco-friendly bags, and work hard to educate our customers about our eco-friendliness and our products. Your benefit is our benefit, and our planet’s benefit…
