Envi Reusable Bags Are Now EcoLogo Certified, Reinforcing Quality Commitment to
Green Standards for Durability and Environmental Friendliness
NEW YORK – April 22, 2009 – Envi Reusable Bags, a division of Syfel, Inc. and longtime leader in the
reusable bag industry, today announced that its line of customizable canvas reusable bags has received the
prestigious EcoLogo Certification, North America’s largest and most respected environmental standard and
certification mark. The certification reinforces Envi’s total commitment to delivering top quality and
reusability across its product line.
The EcoLogo Program was designed to support a continuing effort to improve environmental
quality by reducing energy consumption and by minimizing the impacts of pollution generated by the
production, use and disposal of goods and services. To receive EcoLogo certification, Envi adheres to the
most stringent green standards. The company personally ensures that its factories and manufacturing
processes are environmentally sound, while continually seeking out the most durable, eco-friendly fabrics
available for its bags – ensuring the longevity and true reusability of its bags. As part of its commitment to
eco-leadership, Envi also uses non-toxic, AZO-free dyes for all of its printing, protecting not only the
environment but the health of its customers.
“The EcoLogo is an important program because it underscores the fact that not all bags are created
equal. There is, in fact, a higher standard that can and should be upheld when manufacturing reusable
bags, and we are proud to adhere to it,” said Sylvia Feldzamen, founder of Envi Reusable Bags. “It is an
honor to be recognized for our commitment to creating products that encourage sustainable practices
among consumers and businesses alike.”
