Small Choices, Big Impact: How Your Neco Bags Purchase Helps Keep Plastic Bottles Out of Landfills

When you choose a Neco Bag, you’re not just choosing style, function, and sustainability — you’re helping reduce plastic waste, one bag at a time.

Our waterproof-lined products are made using a recycled lining fabric that’s crafted from plastic bottles. For every yard of this fabric, 12 plastic bottles are given a second life — turned into something useful and beautiful, rather than ending up in a landfill or polluting our oceans.

And thanks to you — our thoughtful, eco-conscious customers — this isn’t just talk. Since 2023 (only 2 years at writing this!), Neco Bags has used over 80 yards of recycled lining fabric, which means together, we’ve helped remove an incredible 960 plastic bottles and counting from the waste stream!

It Might Sound Small, But It Adds Up

Sure, 12 bottles here, 960 bottles there — in the grand scheme, it might seem like a drop in the ocean. But when you consider that every single plastic bottle takes up to 450 years to break down (if it ever fully does), every bottle kept out of the landfill truly matters.

This is how real change happens: one thoughtful purchase at a time, one better choice at a time.

So the next time you snap closed or zip up your Neco Bag — whether it’s for snacks, first aid supplies, or your everyday essentials — know that you’ve done a little good for the planet. And with every order, we’re doing it together.

💚 Thank you for being part of the solution.

Because small actions really do add up — and the Earth notices.
