Eco Kaddy - lose those shopping bags

aboutmyecokaddy.jpg.w300h498.jpg

Here’s a great alternative to the plastic shopping bag. The Pfaff Group has created this shopping tool which can be used as either a hand basket or a rolling shoping cart. With the Eco Kaddy you can roll items right from the checkout counter to your vehicle and into your home. Use the Eco Kaddy a few times a week and you can easily cut your plastic bag consumption by 1,000 or so a year and this shopping tool is built to last so the benefits can be longterm.

If you’re a retailer interested in selling the Eco Kaddy call: 905-814-6444 or email jsantos@pfaffgroup.com

$32.95 CAD @ ecokaddy.com

(for you Canadians they also have an Eco Kaddy Hockey Kit for carrying pucks and stuff)

Hi,

I was pleased to see our eco kaddy featured on your website today. Thank you. I notice that eco is spelled incorrectly though.

i love the idea, but the implementation looks a little awkward. if it had milk, canned goods, detergent, or cat food in it, you’d have to stand skewed to carry it and still balance yourself. so i think you would almost never actually carry it.

i’m fond of the combination of cloth bags and a folding metal cart which can be gotten locally for rather cheap. (any china/japan/koreatown will have them.)

like this?/a>

thanks for the idea, though. anything that reinforces the notion of getting your stuff home without creating unnecessary garbage is good.

I love the eco kaddy -however I would prefer to have it any color but green. Does it come in other colors?

Is it available to purchase locally , in Windsor , Ontario?

Thank you,

Here’s the location of their store outside Toronto. I believe they only come in green.
