ChicoBag Founder Andy Keller with a reusable ChicoBagWondering how somebody came up with the idea for reusable shopping bags that are easy to carry? Well, a few years ago, Andy Keller was in the mood to make some home improvements. He did some work around the house, then made a dump run to dispose of some household waste. At the sight of the plastic shopping bags filling the landfill, Keller recalls, “I was instantly shocked and inspired by the tremendous waste, visually dominated by all the plastic bags. On the way home, I thought about why people don’t use reusable bags. My conclusion was that they are hard to use and are often left at home.”
