Lee Never Wasted

“With the relevance of eco-friendly initiatives increasing every day, Lee wanted an innovative solution that would display their affiliation towards the same and also spread the message amongst their customers.

To drive the message home in a fun and effective way, we went for something a bit more inventive than just a bag made of recycled paper. The ‘Never Wasted’ shopping bag that can be reused in one way or another. Some for fun, some for function, but nothing ever goes into the trash. Not only did this make the idea long-lasting and interactive but also conveyed the message in a fascinating manner. Word spread, footfall increased and the initial production of 3000 bags went on to another 10,000.”

    Fantastic! I’ve had the idea of doing something like this for years. I love the idea of suggesting alternative uses for a package after it’s initial use is complete.

    It’s funny that you’re pushing “eco-friendly” but you’ve wasting a ton of money and resources printing that bag brown to look like it was recycled…..

    ….unless that is, they’ve invented white ink.

    When I was younger our grocery store used to have coloring pages and activities printed on their bags. Everything old is new again!

    This is awesome if you can use a bag in multiple ways. It’s a good initiative started by Lee.

    @Kyle Schenone …. are you serious?…you know, not everything is printed with CMYK. There are tons of white inks.

    Yeah, Lee never wasted an opportunity either. Specifically, to manufacture their clothes in foreign nations, leaving the US worker high and dry.

    But way to look socially conscious. It’s totally not a back handed slap at all.
