Design & Functionality
Great-looking and built to last, these totes stand on their own for easy packing and fold flat for convenient storage. Blue Q's super-strong totes can hold 40+ pounds of groceries. Colorful and fun, they also make great picnic and beach bags or shopping totes for malls and department stores. Interior pocket is ideal for holding coupons, grocery lists or other small items.

Materials
The bags are made by taking old grain sacks and plastic water bottles, grinding them up, heating them into a type of thread, which is then woven to create a super-strong 95% post-consumer recycled polypropylene material. Only the handle and film required to screen the design are not made from recycled materials.

Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of paper and plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from post-consumer recycled materials promotes a more sustainable path for landfill-bound waste.

About Blue Q
Brothers Mitch and Seth Nash founded Blue Q in 1988 and still own it today. For the past 15 years, the company has also been the largest local private employer of individuals with disabilities, who make up one quarter of the Blue Q workforce. The company has a close working relationship with the family-owned company in China that makes their bags. Any factories Blue Q partners with must pass rigorous inspections to ensure they meet high, ethical standards for employee care, product quality, and environmental responsibility.

Blue Q donates 1% of the sales of their bags and water bottles to the Nature Conservancy to help support global green initiatives. They are committed to a donation of at least $100,000 by April 19, 2013. See Nature.org for more information on their programs.

5.0 Love the short handles!

Comments about Product:

I received one "Farm Fresh" as a gift and I love it! The handle length is perfect. I would like one of the zipper ones (bicycles to go wit farm fresh), but the long, long droopy handles prevent me from buying it. I'd like another Farm Fresh too, but it's not in the order list???? These are the only patterns I like. Please make more bags with handles that don't make the bag drag the ground. The shorter the better, as long as you can get your hand in.
