Consumers use 60,000 plastic bags every five seconds. Some end up in the ocean killing 100,000 marine animals and affecting 267 more species every year.
Americans discard more than 30 million tons of plastic a year.
Only 8 percent of that gets recycled.
Most bathrooms are filled with plastic bottles that will only be used once before they head to the garbage or recycling can. While recycling plastic is always a good idea, experts agree that it isn’t a solution. Only 5 – 10% of plastic is reclaimed for recycling. Even when it is recycled, most plastic still eventually ends up in a landfill or in our lakes and oceans. Its so bad that in just a few decades, there might be more plastic in the world’s oceans than fish. That’s because plastic never really goes away. It’s designed to last forever. It’s hard to imagine, but all of the plastic that’s ever been made is still here, somewhere on the earth.
While plastic makes life (and bottling) easier, we knew there had to be a better way. We decided to use aluminum bottles for several reasons. Historically, aluminum has proven to be a key material in successful recycling programs. Unlike plastic, aluminum is able to be completely recycled without any loss in quality at a fraction of the initial production costs and energy requirements. Plastic can only be recycled once or twice as it is downgraded each time it loops through the process. Our bottles are also strong enough to survive a number of trips. So they will be well worn before we recycle them. They are easily cleaned and sterilized, so we can ensure that our bottles are safe to use again and again.

Pitcher | Removes Virus
It's now clear that developed countries are the worst offenders of single-use plastic bottle pollution as the citizens of these countries do not trust the quality of their municipal water, primarily due to industrial and agricultural pollutants. The truth is that bottled water isn’t good for our bodies, our wallets, or for the planet. The faster the world realizes this--the better.
It started with developing a bottle with a robust filter in it, so people in countries with poor water quality could drink that water without getting sick, at the same time reducing the need for single-use plastic water bottles in those countries. With Flint, Michigan making international headlines in 2015 with its massive and unimaginable water pollution crisis, it became apparent that it was not just developing countries that had water quality problems.
EPIC PURE WATER FILTER PITCHER
100% BPA-Free | LED Filter Timer | Includes (1) American-made Epic Pure Filter | Removes Up To 99.99% of over 200+ tap water contaminants including: Lead, Fluoride, PFAS (PFOA, PFOS), Chromium 6, Pesticides, Herbicides, Glyphosate (Roundup), Chloramine, Trihalomethanes, Bromodichloromethane, Bromoform, Atrazine, Xylenes, Endocrine Disruptors, 1,4-Dioxane, Haloacetic acids, Hormones, Chlorpyrifos, Microplastics, Radiological Elements, & Trace Pharmaceuticals | Average filter life: 3-4 months (depending on daily usage) | 150 Gallons / 568 Litres | Solid Carbon Block Design
Got city tap water? Want to remove both lead and fluoride? Then, this is the pitcher for you... Designed to remove up to 99.99% of all tap water contaminants, the Epic Pure Water Filter Pitcher is the most sensible choice in water purification today. All filters are replaceable and tested to the highest industry standards. Our American-made pitcher/jug filters are tested and exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53, 401, & P473 for contaminant reduction (see Pure Filter Test Results for more). With each filter capable of purifying 150 gallons (568 liters) of water, the Epic Pure Pitcher is also a great economical choice saving your pocket book and the earth from single use plastic water bottles. The Pure Pitcher includes one (1) Pure Filter that has an average life of around three to four months. Filter life varies based on your average daily use and the quality of your municipal tap water.
If your tap water is relatively heavily contaminated, your filter works harder to keep your water clean, which will decrease the life of the filter. The Pure Pitcher also comes with a LED timer, which counts down from 90 days, integrated into the lid that reminds you when it is time to change the filter. Never again will you have to guess about your filter. The bottom reservoir of the pitcher holds about half a gallon of unfiltered water, and since the filter is good for 150 gallons, you can determine how long it will last depending on how often you fill up! epicwaterfilters.com

The word "Baba" in Ukrainian means "Grandma." Our founder, Fedia Kourbatov, got his vision for Baba Bags at age 20 from a bag his grandmother brought home from Ukraine. Whenever Fedia would go to the grocery store with his mother he observed that while his mother shopped, the organic cotton bag garnered countless compliments on its effortless fashion and how many grocery items it could hold. He also recognized that because of its compact structure, his mother would keep it in her pocket or purse allowing her to always remember her bag, unlike her other bulky reusable gear. Fedia quickly saw an incredible opportunity to eliminate thousands of plastic bags by sharing his grandmothers’ beautiful bag with the world. Having gotten the idea from this grandmother’s bag Fedia felt compelled to start a social enterprise and dedicate to his grandmothers, Larysa, Valia, and Paraska and center it around what his grandmothers gave always gave him: love, attention and care. He believes if Baba Bags gives the same grandmotherly love, attention and care to our customers, our planet and our community together we can eliminate millions of plastic bags while offering transformational support to non-profits that are doing their part make our community and our world a better place.

Some end up in the ocean killing 100,000 marine animals and affecting 267 more species every year. In our first year in business, our customers saved an estimated 21,000 plastic bags! Use Baba Bags to help put a dent in these jarring statistics and push plastic bag use to extinction. baba-bags.com
