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.
These guys have experimented with constructing the Kaddy out of recycled plastic resin but found it to be weaker and not suitable for longterm use (though the Eco Kaddy itself is fully recyclable). They ship anywhere in North America.
If you’re a retailer interested in selling the Eco Kaddy call: 905-814-6444 or email jsantos@pfaffgroup.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.

Oops!! Fixed it.

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.)

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

http://www.gogobasket.com this website has better baskets and come in all colors if any one is intersted in placing an order contact us via e-mail for more information.
The Eco Kaddy has a telescoping handle so that you can place it on the ground once it becomes heavy and then pull it behind you. This means that there won’t be any of the awkward lean that Lindsey was worried about in her post.
The Gogo Basket may be cheaper, but we’ve experienced many counterfits to our Eco Kaddy that break more easily. I myself have an Eco Kaddy that I have used for over 2 years now and it hardly shows any wear although I take it everywhere. At the end of the day a cheap knockoff is still a cheap knockoff and as the saying goes, “you get what you pay for.”
