The inception of Poly Promo can be traced back to the collaborative efforts of five high school students from Burlington Central High School in Illinois. Recognizing the pressing need to address environmental concerns in our modern society, our journey began with a shared commitment to prioritize the well-being of our planet.

Understanding that community unity plays a pivotal role in achieving positive change, we embarked on a mission to bring people together for the benefit of all. Our vision was to contribute to the well-being of local businesses while simultaneously making a meaningful impact on the community as a whole. To achieve this, Poly Promo decided to focus on the adoption of reusable canvas bags as a sustainable alternative.

The decision to champion reusable canvas bags stemmed from our profound concern about global pollution, a problem that stood out among the myriad challenges facing our world. We recognized the potential catastrophic consequences of unchecked pollution and sought a solution that could make a genuine impact. Our research revealed alarming statistics, underscoring the urgency of reducing pollutants for the health of our planet.

As we delved deeper into our investigation, we uncovered not only the environmental significance but also the social responsibility associated with addressing such issues. We learned that many individuals prioritize supporting socially responsible companies. Inspired by these findings, we pondered a question: could we create a solution that addresses both environmental concerns and aligns with the principles of socially responsible business?
