Materials
We work with trusted mills that develop materials for some of the best brands in the outdoors industry - Patagonia, for example - to develop our unique, Next Generation recycled PET. We’ve done our research to insure this material is genuinely made from recycled bottles and containers – so you can be sure you’re really getting a sustainable shopping bag.
Unlike cheaper versions of recycled PET, our Next Generation Recycled PET fabric, blended with nylon, is as beautiful & strong as it is sustainable. Using recycled PET is smart - it cuts down on waste & minimizes damage to the environment by conserving oil, energy & non-renewable resources. In the U.S. alone over 45 billion plastic containers ended up in landfills in 2006.
Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from recycled PET promotes a more sustainable path for plastic. The fabric used to produce each of these bags reclaims several recycled plastic bottles/containers. Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources.
Our Shopping Sets make it easy to start using reusable bags on your next grocery trip. Choose a set or browse for ideas to build your own!

Love this bag!
I travel a lot and I wanted a lightweight backpack to carry my camera, along with a few odds and ends. This bag is fabulous. It's lightweight. I can sling it over my shoulders and hit the road. I've ordered two more - one to keep at work for when I feel like taking a power walk at lunch and one as a spare, simply because it's such a great bag. I've received lots of compliments on it.

ok bag, doesn't get used much though
I ordered this bag a while ago, more than a year now, and I've only used it once. I thought since it was a backpack, it would be pretty convenient. It's quite small, smaller than my workhorse, and since it's doesn't have a pouch of it's own, it doesn't store neatly like the workhorse. I think if it can hold more, it would be more useful.

Just what I was looking for
I bought this bag to carry a few things with me as I walk the dog...my wallet, keys, cell hone, poop bags, a water bottle & collapsible water bowl for him, etc. It is a nice size for this use. I would not consider it the best solution for a shopping trip, but for a few odds & ends it is perfect. Lightweight, unobstrusive when on my back. Have not had to clean it yet so I cannot comment on that.

Product quality poor.
Purchased the back packs specifically for vaction in Hawaii. We were doing some mild hiking / walking & wanted a small Light pack to keep a few essentials. On our first day of use, back pack frayed & split at the seam & my camera & cell phone fell out of the pack. Would not recommend product.

Great multi-purpose bag!
I bought this bag to keep my stuff organized at the gym-- the front zipper pocket is great for stashing keys, gym ID, and other small items, while the main compartment holds a towel and sweatshirt. The drawstrings make it easy to carry around. Material is a nice, smooth blend of nylon and recycled material, much more impressive than the average shopping bag!

A bit of a letdown
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
It's wonderful this bag is made from recycled materials. However, that is the only exciting thing about it. It's a SMALL BAG. MUCH smaller than I would have liked. The straps aren't anything special, either. Basically, this is a small gym sack. That's it.

Love the drawstring bags!
I was pleasantly suprised with the cute and very lightweight drawstring bags, it's hard to believe they were made from recycled plastic-my kids love them too. They use them for dance and soccer stuff. Thank You!

Good Idea
I totally believe in carrying extra totes everywhere as to avoid using plastic shopping bags. I plan to give this one as a gift since it is a quality product!

Great bag! Buy It!
I adore this bag. It's yet another one of the great environment-friendly products that ReusableBags sells. I use it as a backpack/purse/schoolteacher bag. I love the light weight as I have shoulder and neck problems that make using a regular backpack or briefcase a major challenge. It holds a lot more than you'd think just by looking at it. It is unobtrusive,durable, packable, foldable, versatile, and wearable, and seems to have an almost endless list of uses. The zipper pocket on the front is a terrific security feature and it helps reduce the "fallen to the bottom" issue that plagues any large bag. I'd buy it as a gift, should the occasion arise. I wish it had a "recycled product" or other identifying label on the front - not because it would make the product better, but because I'd like my world to know that protecting the planet is important, and easier (and cheaper) than many think.

packs down small and hikes well
This was exactly what I wanted. I already have 3 of the acme bags that pack down to a small ball that I keep in my small dry pack that I wear on my side (kind of a manpack.) The issue I always had was when I was walking for long distances and had things I needed to carry that were too large for my sidepack. I don't generally need it so I would need for it to pack small and store in my sidepack and yet still be comfortable to wear on long dayhikes, etc. This item was perfect! It packs down small, weighs next to nothing, and the small straps were not even noticeable with relatively light weight inside. An added bonus was the fact that it hung towards my hip with the top part clear of my back so I had none of that sweaty back issue that I have with most daypacks. I am not sure if I would like it if I had to carry to much weight but for light loads it was perfect.

I recently purchased many items from reusable bags
I recently purchased many items from reusable bags and love, love, love every single item. The drawstring bag is the coolest. I can use it as a purse or when I go to the farmer\'s market.
