OasisMade, formerly Oasis Bags, was founded in Canada in 1989 with two fundamental beliefs: to provide environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging alternatives; and to supply socially responsible certified products. Founders Laurie and Robin Maloni were both very passionate about the environment and had strong business backgrounds on which to base this endeavor. After a great deal of research and designing, OasisMade launched their first line of bags. Retailers were initially hesitant about the concept of customers paying for reusable bags, but OasisMade stayed determined to get their products into the market. As awareness for the environment grew in the media, recycling technologies became more efficient. As a result, OasisMade discovered a way to create bags out of post-consumer plastic. Our product line began including a wide variety of recycled, recyclable, biodegradable and organic bags.
