Made from super-lightweight, tear-proof recycled PET nylon mesh that's even softer than virgin nylon.

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.

The PET Mesh Workhorse bag is a good product. There is one drawback if you have multiple bags are have large hands. The hand holds at the ends of the bags are too small. I can just get my fingers through the holes! resueit should enlarge these holes for your hands, then the product would be perfect. The original rip-stop nylon bags had larger holes for your hands. I bought these bags thinking the design would be exactly like the original bags.

Great bag
This is a great bag to stash in your purse. The only thing I don't like is that the handles can't slip over my shoulder. I like to be able to load up 2 or 3 over my shoulders when carrying in groceries. But the way it folds up in such a tiny package makes up for that.

I love the mesh workhorse. The size and shape is just like a plastic shopping bag from the grocery store. I love the bonny green color too. A++

Ok for a free product

I received this for free as part of a promotion, so I can't complain too much about it. I'm not sure I would pay money for this, though. The bag is certainly more compact than most reusable bags. However, the handles are very short, which means you can't put it over your shoulder and if the bag is very full and wide, and you have small hands like me, it can be difficult to hold. Also, I at first liked that the case for the bag is actually attached to the bag, as it means you won't lose it, but I have yet to be able to get the bag back inside of it, thus rendering it completely useless. Even if I could figure it out, it would take too long to be worth it. I think they need to make the case much larger, with maybe an elastic or drawstring closing. Anyway, I've just wrapped a hair tie around the bag after quickly folding it up, which helps it stay together.

I got this bag as a freebie with my last order-the color is really awful, the fabric is very coarse and scratchy and folding it back into its attached bag is a pain-I appreciate the freebie but would not actually buy this! Sorry :(

Constructed to fail

I bought the original nylon fabric Workhorse bags, and the bottom ripped open at the seam. I got the mesh Workhorse bag as a free promotional item. Like the original Workhorse, the seams are sewn with a very long stitch length, a length I would use for basting, not for sewing a seam that will have a lot of stress placed on it.
