Imagine you have placed an order for Garbage disposal bags and the delivery person comes in a BMW to hand it over to you at your doorstep! Adversity, as rightly said, is an opportunity in disguise. Whether you choose to panic over the adversity or grab the opportunity and make the most of it, defines the mettle in an entrepreneur.

Anil Chowta, Founder and CEO of Ecosac Utility Bags is amazing…

I am a sucker for lunch boxes. I don’t know who came up with them. But the simple fact that you can make your lunch, stick it in a lunch box, carry out around and then eat as if it was fresh, is incredible. It’s a simple yet practical technology.

  That’s what our EcoSacs are: a simple yet practical technology. In short, our EcoSacs are heat-retention bags, which means that you can cook a meal and if people show up an hour late, the food will still be warm and ready to eat. No reheating and, most importantly, no energy waste.

  Whenever we go and present our eco-products throughout Dakar, the women remain in awe by the EcoSac. You boil the water, cook the rice for 10 minutes, and leave the rest of the cooking to the EcoSac, saving both time and fuel. Once the sauce is ready, you pull out the rice and eat. Simple as that. The EcoSac not only keeps the rice warm while you cook the rest of your meals, it can also be used to keep food cold.

Marie Sarr lives and works for a community organisation in Maleka. She’s been helping out members of the community for years and was excited to be a part of the project.

After buying the stove, she said that  cooking on them really easy. But not only that, she thought they were also necessary considering the rise price of charcoal. She said that “everyone knows that gas fuel today is expensive. The sac of biomass is only 1800CFA and it can provide fuel for a large or small family for 15 days. I myself was one of the first users and I can tell you that it’s very beneficial!” 

She also bought the bought an EcoSac and thanks to it she can now cook lunch for her children and the food will stay warm regardless of what time they come home. Not having to reheat food means that she can now save time and fuel.
