"Seriously Green" -- USA Today
Two years of hard work in the making, we're proud to introduce our first tote bags made from recycled PET. Based on our EarthTote™ and Dual-Handled Tote (both customer favorites & proven winners) but made with "next generation" PET fabric that is as strong as it is sustainable. Plus, since we donate 1% of sales to support the environment, these have to be, hands down, the most eco-friendly reusable bags you can find anywhere. It's all part of our obsession to offer the most sustainable bags available through our reuseit line.
FYI: The Recycled PET EarthTote is very sturdy, so it's easy to load. While the PET EarthTote will not stand completely upright on its own, the Original EarthTote will because it has a slightly more rigid coating.
Another great product from our award-winning reuseit line (formerly Acme Bags).

Awesome
I love these bags. They are very heavy weight and can hold anything I am strong enough to carry when I leave the grocery store. I bought my first ones 4 years ago and they are still going strong... I use them at least once a week for errands or grocery store stops. The 4 year old bags are just starting to show signs of wear... very, very tiny holes. I bet I'll get another 4 years out of them... just think of all the plastic bags I will have saved!!!!

nicely done.
more capacious and stronger than other 'grocery'-type
bags made from recycled materials. Easily carries modest shop with heavier items like rice milk. Haven't stained or sullied it yet so don't yet know how it holds up -- but it feels very durable. My wife covets it.

Love this bag!
I bought several of these bags a few years ago, for myself and my friends and family. They are sturdy, washable and look nice for a long time. Grocery baggers tell me they love them because they have some structure to them and are easy to fill. I recently bought more bags because I keep giving them to friends to try.

Spread the word these are great!!

Love these bags
The description says they do not stand on their own but they do stand up if you put them in the space where the plastic bags hang at the grocery store. They are nice and large and hold a lot. I hope they wear a little longer than the 3 years I got out of the first set. I get asked a frequently where I bought them.

LOVE mine!
I have a few different types of bags but these are my favorite. They are super durable. After three years of heavy use, they still look brand new. I get compliments from the bag people about them each time I go to the grocery. They are very strong.

Great Bag!
This is a great bag. I use it for every type of shopping. It is very sturdy, I have carried 5 2-liters of soda in this bag. I like that it stands up like a paper sack. My old Earthtote bags don't do this, I think because they are not made from recycled materials. I have been using my old bags for several years of heavy use and the bottom seams are starting to show wear. Hopefully these new bags will stand up as long. The price is a little higher than I would like to pay but when you consider the years of use from each bag I guess they are worth it.

Great Reusable Grocery Bag
This bag holds it's form much like a traditional paper grocery bag and has a convenient pocket on the outside (I use it for my receipts and (guilty pleasure) lottery tickets). Most of my bags are the Acme Dual-Handled Totes and I am partial to them because I am used to them. Overall, it is a great quality bag and a welcome addition to the mix.

Sturdy but handle is too short.
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful
I like these bags. However, the handle is too short. I prefer to be able to put it over my shoulder and these handles are too short. If I had realized I would not have purchased them.

Great BAGS!
I use these bags all the time. I take them to all types (clothing, grocery, target, farmers markets) of stores for my shopping. They are large, hold a lot of items and are very durable. I have been using them for over a year, and they still look brand new.

Tops for Grocery shopping
This is my fav Grocery bag - size is fantastic. I'll bring this & I'm always asked if I want the rest of my items in plastic. I say no because everything will fit in this bag. They never seem to believe me until the end. I'd prefer to have one heavy bag instead of multiple bags. This holds the weight. For everyday smaller shopping I recommend the Workhorse.
