The Food Gatherer is a local food delivery service. It's founder, Emma Lundie is on a mission to make local food shopping easy and delivers specialist produce from local shops and producers to people in Enfield, London.
The Food Gatherer had two aims when it approached Smartbags. Firstly to create a brand identity for their new online business serving a local community. They needed something tangible that would get their brand noticed locally and would reflect their brand values. Secondly, they wanted a practical solution for deliveries that would help them to reduce packaging cost & waste whilst caring for the environment. Smartbags helped them to achieve this by creating attractive, branded reusable eco bags.
The reusable eco bag is an essential part of the Food Gatherer's delivery system. Large orders are delivered in the large reusable eco bags Smartbags created for them. The customer keeps hold of the reusable bag and returns it to the driver on the next delivery (which will be in a new eco bag). The cycle continues and has been effective at cutting waste plastic.
The bag is also given away at local events and when someone signs up to their mailing list. The bag is then reused locally, advertising the business each time it is reused. The Food Gatherer also sells the bag so that customers can keep hold of their very own bag and use it when shopping locally.
