Do you know that saving the environment can be as simple as choosing alternative packaging to plastic for your business? At Oikos, we believe small choices can lead to big changes, which is why we offer Oikos eco-friendly bags that are made of cassava starch and corn. These bags provide a sustainable way to package products while helping reduce plastic waste

Beyond the environmental benefits, reports show that businesses embracing sustainability can also enjoy increased profitability. With Oikos’ sustainable packaging, you’re making a smart move that’s good for the planet and your biz.

How Oikos Eco-Friendly Bags Make a Difference

The shopping bags we carry and use may seem like a minor detail. But collectively, they influence the health of our planet. Oikos has redesigned these everyday items to provide everyone with safer and more sustainable biodegradable packaging for business. Here’s how Oikos eco-friendly bags stand out:

1. Made of biodegradable and durable materials

Most eco-friendly businesses are quick to choose paper bags as an alternative packaging to plastic, but these aren’t exactly reliable during rainy weather. Oikos eco-friendly bags are made of cassava starch and corn, making them both biodegradable and strong enough to hold up even when wet. 

2. Supports sustainable business in the Philippines

By 2030, younger generations, known for their strong preference for sustainability, will hold the most purchasing power. Switching to Oikos eco-friendly bags today positions your brand ahead of the curve, showing customers you share their values.

3. Reduces plastic pollution

Sustainable packaging like corn and cassava starch bags serves as a biodegradable alternative to single-use plastics. Every year, an estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic end up in the oceans. Unlike conventional plastics that can persist for centuries, Oikos eco-friendly bags naturally decompose within 3-6 months, reducing both visible waste and long-term environmental damage.

4. Customizable packaging

While Oikos offers ready-made sustainable packaging that you can buy in retail or bulk, we also provide customizable packaging solutions tailored to your brand. We can incorporate your logo and other design elements to create Oikos eco-friendly bags that not only protect the environment but also strengthen your brand

Team Effort: From Store to Shopper

Now that you’ve seen how Oikos eco-friendly bags can help, remember that building a sustainable business in the Philippines is a team effort. Business owners can do their part by choosing responsible suppliers and offering eco-friendly packaging solutions like corn and cassava starch bags

On the other hand, shoppers can help by supporting eco-friendly brands and asking for alternative packaging to plastic. When businesses and consumers work together, biodegradable options can become the norm, helping the environment recover.

Partner with Oikos for a Greener Future

Choosing Oikos eco-friendly bags is more than a purchase. It’s a step toward supporting an eco-friendly business that truly cares for the planet. Oikos is the first and only brand in the Philippines to receive an Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) from DOST for its corn and cassava starch bags, proving they are plastic-free, biodegradable, and compostable.
