Dubai, UAE, 7th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Green Bags UAE was established in 2006, becoming the first company in the entire GCC to promote eco-friendly bags and sustainable packaging solutions.
Our mission began with simple idea- to find a sustainable solution to one of the world’s biggest problems: global warming and waste management. Plastic bags are a major cause of this crisis.
Did you know a single plastic bag can take 500 to 1,000 years to decompose? I thought—why not spread this awareness across the UAE and the Middle East?
We launched a website to educate the public and urge people to stop using plastic carry bags, especially single-use plastics. Repeated use of plastic not only harms our environment and nature but is also a leading cause of deaths among animals, marine life, and even dangerous to human health. Studies reveal that the average person consumes more than 5 grams of plastic every week through food and water. This is why we called on everyone to join the Plastic-Free Awareness Campaign.
In the beginning people were slow to respond until 2010, we stayed committed. We even imported a full container of jute bags from India and Bangladesh ,where such fabrics were mainly available —so customers could readily purchase alternatives. After waiting for nearly five years, we received our first major orders from Emirates Airlines and ADNOC convenience stores. That was the turning point.
Today, Green Bags UAE has grown to become a well-known brand. Our products are available in more than 1,000 retail outlets, and we have proudly served over 4,000 customers across the UAE and GCC, including small and medium enterprises as well as leading corporates. In 2022, we expanded operations to Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in 2024 we entered Riyadh as well.
Our mission is to promote reusable culture by offering sustainable products made from jute, cotton, juco, and canvas fabrics. Using just one reusable cotton bag or canvas bag can replace more than 3,000 single-use plastic bags. This is not only an environmental responsibility but a social commitment. The Earth belongs to the next generation too, and it is our duty to teach our children to follow the reduce, reuse, recycle lifestyle. If we ignore this, studies warn that within the next 100 years our planet could face irreversible damage due to global warming, pollution, and flooding -already affecting both marine life and human life. A reusable bag or canvas bags weighs less than a mobile phone, yet it carries a huge impact for our planet.
But these tote canvas bags or jute bags are not only an eco friendly bag choice; they are also powerful tools for branding and advertisement. Business owners can print their brand identity on these canvas bags and circulate them within their communities, spreading both their message ,awareness and corporate gifting has always played an important role in building relationships, showing appreciation, and increasing brand visibility . Green bags UAE introduce practical, reusable, eco- friendly, customized promotional gift items instead of plastic or disposable giveaways. Our customized eco friendly bags make lasting impact.
So let us all commit to this change—say no to plastics, carry reusable eco friendly bags daily, and build a healthier, cleaner world for ourselves and future generations.
