Design and Functionality The reuseit Recycled PET Mesh Workhorse is an updated version of our customer favorite reuseit Workhorse Original. Based on the design of the classic plastic shopping bag, it's made from recycled PET nylon mesh that is incredibly strong, super lightweight and stylish. Weighs less than 1.5 oz yet can hold over 25 lbs.
Each ultra-compact pouch opens into a heavy-duty, water and mildew resistant sack that is a roomy 19"x 16" x 6". In addition to using it as a shopping bag, its quick-dry, breathable fabric is perfect for outdoor activities (e.g. beach bag). Best of all it's see-through, so it's especially handy for finding items quickly.
The reuseit Workhorse has a truly innovative feature; it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures a mere 3.6" x 3.6," easily fitting into the palm of your hand and small enough to stash in a purse or pocket so you will always have one handy. It is impossible to lose the storage pouch since it's attached to the bag.
Materials EcoCircle provides a closed-loop recycling system for polyester products, producing a recycled polyester fiber with the same strength and durability as new fiber. However, unlike virgin nylon, its production doesn't require the use of petroleum. This cradle-to-cradle system reduces trash production as well as oil consumption. The result is a high-quality polyester fabric, strong enough to hold up to 25 pounds, with a soft sheen and smooth texture. Click here to read more about
what makes Eco Circle fabric so special.
About EcoCircle EcoCircle is a closed-loop recycling system for used polyester products. The system employs the world's first technology for chemical recycling, which chemically decomposes polyester for conversion into new polyester raw materials that offer purity comparable to virgin polyester, which is derived from petroleum. Compared to developing polyester materials from petroleum, this repeatable recycling system reduces energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 80% each.
Sustainability Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources. This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from 100% post-consumer recycled fiber promotes a more sustainable path for polyester. Because EcoCircle is a closed-loop recycling system, it eliminates waste and decreases oil consumption. For example, recycling 3000 shirts with EcoCircle will reduce energy consumption by 84% and CO2 emissions by 77%. At the end of its life, this bag can go back into the Eco Circle system and become a new product.
