We bow to you. And the environment.
Namaste (Naa•muh•stay). A greeting of respect; literally, “I bow to you.” Too serious for a company whose flagship product transforms a shopping cart into a marvel of, dare we say, fun? Yeah maybe, but that product — and our others — not only makes grocery shopping easier and more organized; it’s also replaced 4 billion plastic shopping bags — and counting. So to you, namaste. To the environment — very same thing.
Our founders, Jen and Farzan, dreamed of a world free of plastic bags and in 2017 created Lotus Sustainables to enhance everyday experiences and protect the planet they love. Based in Carlsbad, California, Lotus soon blossomed into a certified B Corp with a mission driven team committed to using business as a force for good. We exist to prove that life without plastic can actually be easier. And that makes life better.
“Make life easier. That’s what we all want. Make life easier WHILE being sustainable? That’s the way to get rid of plastic”
- Jennifer Dehmoubed, Founder
By planting Lotus seeds of sustainability and small acts of kindness toward the Earth, we hope to encourage others to blossom into positive change. Together, we’ve already eliminated the need for over 4 Billion plastic bags and counting! And, in alignment with our passion to protect the earth, we donate 10% of our profits to like-minded organizations seeking to reduce the environmental impact of single-use plastic.
We believe every bag should live a long, productive life, so we carefully study the life cycle of all our materials and have partnered with facilities in India, Vietnam, and China to ensure we are at source and providing the best alternatives for the many different requirements you may have. In limiting our partnerships, we ensure each facility shares our commitment to durability and sustainability while providing eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastics. As a certified B Corp, we strive to ensure each facility is held to the very highest ethical standards. Our dedicated production lines that are staffed by skilled teams enable us to create products that make your day easier than single-use plastic ever could. Our team makes several visits to these facilities throughout the year to monitor production, celebrate successes, and share the impact of our efforts in creating a cleaner future.
Our partners take pride in their certifications for quality standards and social responsibility. We welcome visits from our end users, and when that’s not possible, we work with third-party inspection organizations to provide the necessary reports to ensure we exceed your brand standards.
