PORTLAND, Maine, April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In celebration of Earth Day, Sea Bags, Poland Spring® Brand 100% Natural Spring Water and Maine Magazine have partnered to encourage people to think innovatively about ways to protect our environment.

The campaign started with a thought around how we can demonstrate the value of recycling and reusing materials to give them life beyond their original purpose.

Poland Spring put this thought to action ten years ago with the creation of sail cloth containing 80 percent recycled plastic bottles. Now, that sail cloth made from plastic bottles will be repurposed into a limited-edition Sea Bags tote. A homage to the home state of these three brands, the exterior of the tote features the Maine state silhouette, while the inside highlights trivia about the Pine Tree State.

All three businesses strive to be more sustainable every day in order to keep their state clean and maintain its natural beauty. They have each placed a continual emphasis on their businesses to think of ways to drive innovative, sustainable solutions to help the earth.

Over twenty years ago, to cut down on materials populating in landfills, Sea Bags sought to find a solution to stop sails from being thrown away and bring back the cut and sew industry in Maine. Since then, the small business has saved over 700 tons of recycled sail cloth material to date and the number continues to grow daily.

Poland Spring wanted to help ensure plastic bottles are recycled and repurposed into something new, with the belief that plastic can be a resource when recycled properly. The brand carefully designs all of its bottles to meet the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) standards to be 100% recyclable. It was also one of the first bottled water brands to include "How2Recycle" labels on its bottles, giving people clear instructions on recycling. With its parent company, Nestlé Waters North America, it has invested $6 million in the Closed Loop Fund, a social impact investment fund that finances recycling infrastructure projects and community recycling programs across the U.S.

For Maine Magazine, it was to commit to cutting down waste in publishing practices. In addition to covering environmental topics and promoting environmentalists in Maine as good stewards to our State, Maine Magazine has eliminated the use of polybags in the shipment of individual magazines, cutting down on plastic wrapping by 30,000 units per month.

People can visit http://www.polandspring.com/seabags for a chance to win one of 25 recycled limited-edition tote bags. Submissions close on May 12, 2019, and winners will be selected by May 13, 2019.

*NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States (D.C.) 18 years or older. Ends 5/12/19. To enter and for official rules, including odds, and prizes descriptions, visit http://www.polandspring.com/seabags. Void where prohibited.

Check in to Sea Bags, Poland Spring and Maine Magazines websites and social channels to learn more about their campaign and how you can help spread the word on sustainability in the community.
