About Doy Bags

Doy Bags are a range of bags, purses and accessories made from recycled juice packs - non-biodegradable foil and plastic packaging that would otherwise go into landfill sites and incinerators.

Doy Bags are made by our women's cooperative in the Philippines. The large number of bags and household items produced every year prevents vast quantities of juice packs from being burnt, buried or simply littering the streets and waterways.

Doy Bags are proud to provide employment to over 200 women. Almost all the women are their family's main breadwinners, most of the husbands being unable to find work due to the poor economy of the area. The women have an average of 4-6 children, thus working for the cooperative makes a real difference, elevating families from extreme poverty to a decent life. Functioning as a sort of extended family enterprise, the cooperative also employs 11 young men (adult sons of some of the women) as drivers, packers and warehousemen.
