Ecopapel's handmade gift bags are created from natural materials like seeds, leaves, banana fiber, and come in eight sizes, all sporting original designs. Waste paper is collected from schools, offices, banks, and other places for reprocessing into new paper. Ecopapel was formed a decade ago in Ecuador to employ women who had lost their livelihood when mangrove forests were destroyed to create shrimp farms.
