After two years of development, we’re proud to introduce the newest version of our best-selling Workhorse bag, made of 100% post-consumer recycled fibers. We've used EcoCircle fabric, a closed-loop, cradle-to-cradle recycling system for polyester products, and this bag is the pinnacle of our efforts to push the envelope with sustainable, high-performance materials.
In 2003 we introduced our innovative reuseit Workhorse, helping replace thousands of disposable plastic bags with each one. Its unique design, based on the classic plastic shopping bag, proved to be a customer favorite and paved the way for ultra compact bags from companies like Baggu, Flip & Tumble and ChicoBag.
Another great product from our award winning-reuseit line (formerly Acme Bags).
2" x 4" x 2" pouch
21" H (including handles) x 16" W x 6" D unfolded
Design & Functionality
Just like the reuseit Workhorse Original, our EcoCircle Workhorse has a truly innovative feature - it folds into its own mini-sack attached inside the bag. Once stuffed into its pouch, it measures only 2" x 4" x 2," 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. Plus, it is impossible to lose the storage pouch since it's attached to the bag. Weighing in at only 2.0 ounces, these lightweights perform like champs. Each bag opens into a heavy-duty, water- and mildew-resistant 21"x 16" x 6" sack and holds up to 25 lbs. With this bag, you may never have to take a plastic shopping bag again.
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. This cradle-to-cradle system reduces trash production as well as oil consumption during production. 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 EcoCircle 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 those 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 Eco Circle is a closed-loop recycling system, it eliminates waste and decreases oil consumption. For example, recycling 3000 shirts with Eco Circle will reduce energy consumption by 84% and CO2 emissions by 77%.

Love these!
I bought these and loved them so I bought more to give to family and friends. Even the check-out folks admire them because they can hook them on their bag holders and easily fill them up! I keep some in each vehicle and the RV and one in my purse. Great product.

Great Bag
I received this bag free, as a promotion. I was not happy that it was brown. However, it's a coppery brown and it is a great fabric, very sturdy. I recommend this product if you are looking for a bag with lots of room, but small enough to fit in your purse. The brown color is not bad at all.

Perfect for groceries
I have three of these bags in silver and they have completely trumped my other big reusable bags for shopping. Since they are so small, I always carry one in my tiny purse. Gone are the days when I forgot to bring a reusable when I shop. Strong, durable, can carry a bundle and don't hurt your hands like a heavy filled plastic bag can. And the silver is really stylish and classic.
Love these!

Great pocket-sized bag
Lightweight, strong, convenient carry bag that fits in my purse or pocket and packs away quickly and easily. My only gripe is that the chocolate colour looks more like, how should I put this, a very different brown substance. I would not buy this colour again for that reason! But I would happily buy the bag itself again if I didn't already have lots of reusable bags.

Great compact bag
I love keeping this compact bag in my purse. I'm notorious for going to the store and leaving my reuables at home, but this bag ensures I can at least pick up a few items without having to haul home unnecessary plastic bags. LOVE IT!

Love this bag!
This bag would be worth it at full price but I was lucky and
caught it on sale this time (2nd order). The people at the grocery store LOVE the bag because it fits on their wheel
like their plastic bags do. Can't say enough good things about it!!

These bags are terrific. The construction is excellent, the 100% recycled fabric is strong and has a nice hand (quilter talk for "feels good"). They are so compact and lightweight that they are nearly undetctable when tucked into a purse or backpack. Unlike many of the bags out there with their own built-in cover, these are easy to fold back up and stuff into their little attached pocket. Finally, the icing on the cake...love those colors! The first six I ordered were pink, the next six are eggplant. I'm going to use those in place of Christmas stockings for my grownup kids. Can't beat the price, especially when they go on sale!

Great
I haven't used the bags yet but know they're great because I purchased them as replacements for the same bags I bought a number of years ago.

This bag is very sturdy and a great size for groceries or other shopping items. The handles are short so must hold the bag in hand rather than hang on shoulder. I have been getting a ton of use out of it.

Fold small to fit in purse yet, can fit a lot of items in them. I always have a reusable bag with me now even when I have an impromptu stop at a store.
