ReJAVAnate Reusable Bags Giveaway
Posted on January 19, 2009 by
We’ve talked about purchases being a way to vote for companies who have good environmental and social programs in place. Well, if you need a new reusable shopping bag, ReJAVAnate is a great company to “vote” for.
ReJAVAnate shopping bags are made from burlap coffee sacks. The bags are manufactured by workers from The Arc, providing employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. How cool is that?
Some of the bags have coffee company logos on them, but they also come plain, or can be customized with your own company logo.
ReJAVAnate has generously offered to give away a bag to one lucky reader.

How neat. I wonder if I can get some Colombian coffee bags. I’ll definitely check them out!
The Arc is such a wonderful organization! They do such a great job of providing meaningful employment for people with developmental disabilities. What a great giveaway!
These would make great grocery sacks for my long walk home. I’ve seen laptop sleeves made out of upcycled coffee sacks, too. Love ‘em!
My old neighbor used to work for ARC. It was a wonderful experience for her and she loved the freedom it afforded her.
These bags are also killer, and I definitely need more coffee in my life (even if it’s just in the form of a logo)!
I really like that these are made of burlap – I bet they’re nice and sturdy.
si se puede!
I love your blog. Keep up the good work!
The bags look cool – I foresee this kind of neo-vintage look becoming the next big thing…
I love the idea of helping people with disabiities earn a living. And these bags really rock! Especially with coffee logos like the one in the pic above. Wish I was in Costa Rica now, lying in the sun or drinking java!
What a great idea. I love when reusable bags are made with reclaimed material.
Love this. For some reason I just had a flashback from Project Runway w/ Laura Bennett’s “Nuts Only” recycled outfit. Love this bag.
Pick me! Pick me!
i love how the bags are so sturdy and strong! and very fashionable too!!!
I’m all for supporting companies that do good things!
i am very impressed with the connections you make and the people you feature on your blog.
how awesomely creative!
Ooh, I’ll enter. I love this bag and love that company’s vision even more.
Oooh, I love this bag! Pick me, random generator!
I love that these were produced by The Arc! What a great organization.
Would love to have another reusable bag made of reclaimed material! The Arc is a wonderful organization!!
wow, the bags look really great. i love the shape, size, color and texture.. erm, pretty much everything about them!
Great bags, and such a good cause. I looked at the website, but it looks like they only ship in the USA
But if you can put me in for the draw (I’m in Canada) that would be great!

These are the cutest bags. I love them. Thanks.
awesome! i am the self professed biggest costa rican coffee fan in the world. and i would love to do anything that supports the people that grow it.
I hope the bags still smell vaguely of coffee!
Wonderful reuse of burlap used for coffee. They would be rugged and hold up for a long time.
