  • Cape Town, South Africa

  • Creative Director and Founder

    Bags4Good was created to combat single use plastic bags, offering an alternative that is economically viable and reusable.Empowering community projects in Cape Town to produce the bags, giving less fortunate people in poverty stricken areas the ability to earn an income thereby uplifting their community.The bags are also used as a mechanism to raise funds for environmental and social causes by offering the consumer a way to champion a cause by buying a bag. Bags4Good has become an active communication and donor channel for initiatives ranging from endangered species conservation, to maxillofacial surgery for children, energy and water conservation.As consumers and commercial donors become more engaged in issues of sustainability, they’re also changing their call for organisations from ‘…do something!’ to ‘…are you succeeding?’, demanding an ongoing conversation on the development and progress of initiatives. In response, Bags4Good has introduced a QR (Quick Response) code and url on each shopper that responds on any smart phone. The QR code directs the user to a dedicated web site that delivers a snap shot of the project’s objectives, and through the course of implementation of the donated funds, to reportage of progress on the project.The primary drivers of sustainability – commerce, community, culture and conservation, are inextricably linked. Bags4Good works at the intersection where the objectives, interventions and outcomes are discussed as a business, and where commerce and consumers invest with the idea of being able to see the change. While compassion is the starting point of most intervention processes, innovation and intelligence need to follow, or a ‘feel good’ feeling and very little real change will result.
