BlueAvocado is excited to announce new products and kits now available that are more green (higher recycled content), more fashionable (kiwi wildflower, plum doodle designs) , and more functional (veg kit, easier collapsibility, and new online kits). Even Hollywood A-listers like Jenna Elfman, Kate Winslet and Tina Fey are joining the ranks of BlueAvocado fans.
BlueAvocado is a mission-driven lifestyle products company that makes it easy to do good while getting it done. The BlueAvocado gro-pak system is designed to replace environmentally harmful plastic and paper grocery bags, features five separate component bags made of recycled materials. The system replaces 15 plastic bags per shopping trip. Durable, compact and stylish, the gro-pak system meets all your shopping needs – ventilation (for fruits and veggies), insulation (for hot/cold), and collapsibility (for easy sto-n-go).
The three Austin women creators of the gro-pak system, Melissa Nathan, Amy George and Paige Davis have made it shockingly easy to “go green” in style. “Our customers are proving that the gro-pak really is the perfect gift and share their pride in giving to their mom’s, sisters, friends, bridesmaids, and even those special men in their lives” said Paige Davis, co-founder and “Chief Inspiration Officer” of Austin-based BlueAvocado, Co.
The BlueAvocado gro-pak system features two “Veg” bags – lightweight, ventilated produce bags; a “Pod” – a collapsible, ultra-light, all-purpose grocery bag; a “Gro” – a sturdy bag with an adjustable strap for shoulder or hand carrying; a “Chil” – an insulated bag that keeps groceries hot or cold for up to three hours; and a “Pak” – a cute carry-all tote that holds and folds the entire system neatly together. All together, the gro-pak system holds up to 100 pounds of groceries. Each BlueAvocado gro-pak component bag also features the world’s first audited “Carbon Impact Label” detailing the carbon emission reduction associated with each trip to the grocery store and plastic bags avoided which can total up to 1000 plastic bags annually.
BlueAvocadoow available at over 400 retailers nationally including Sur La Table, Whole Foods, Amazon.com, Cooking.com, and specialty boutiques across the country.
