We've been looking for a produce bag that's resists staining and shrinking better than natural fiber bags. SmartCycle's synthetic produce bags do just that, and they're made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! Plus, the fine mesh allows you to use it for smaller bulk items. Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour, and 7% of total U.S. oil consumption is used for making new plastic. Recycling is part of the solution, but buying reusable and recycled products that help reduce consumption of other disposables is the real key.
Medium: 12”H x 9.5”W
Each bag weighs 0.7oz
Design & Functionality
These lightweight produce bags are bigger than the standard plastic produce bags found in most grocery stores – great for apples, oranges, broccoli and other leafy vegetables. Also great for larger bulk foods like dried fruit and nuts; and as all-purpose gift or party favor bags. The soda bottle print is a conversation starter – when other customers ask about it you can tell them the bags are made from recycled plastic bottles.
Materials
SmartCycle PCR Polyester mesh is a lightweight, compact mesh polyester material made from 100% recycled bottles. Not only is this material made from recycled materials, but it's also easy to clean and extra strong, with a lifecycle of over 15 years. Each bag is made with approximately the same amount of polyester (PETE) as a one-liter bottle.
Sustainability
This bag can help you eliminate thousands of plastic bags over its lifetime, and choosing products made from recycled materials promotes a more sustainable path for plastic. Our wide range of reusable bags are built to last, which saves both money and natural resources.

Great bags!
These are great bags! I take them to the farmers market and they work great for my produce items. I like the drawstring on the top so I can close the bag and items don't spill out. I also like that these bags are made from recycled plastic bottles and not made in another country.

Great Bags
These produce bags are the perfect size for produce, and they fold up well for carrying in one's pocket or purse. I also like the fact that they are made from post-consumer recycled plastic.

Nice Produce AND Travel Bag
Nicely sized bag that can be used for larger produce or for travel. I used it for pair of shoes and coat. Would also work good for workout clothes or almost anything you need to take with you that eliminates plastic bag usage.

How did I live without these?
I've used canvas bags for shopping for several years now. I never even thought to buy some sort of recyclable bag for produce. But, hey, these bags are easy to draw open/close. They hold a lot. And the cashier can easily read the produce code for checking out. I'm going to get more of both sizes. Thank you, REUSEIT!

Great product
These bags are great to cut down on the plastic bags we bring home from the grocery store. The checkout people haven't had a problem seeing the codes for our produce at the grocery store. They're also great for the farmer's market.

Durable and Functional
These white mesh bags are great! I can see what's inside despite them not being transparent; they add no weight to my purchases, and hold up well after washing. Other shoppers are usually very interested when they see me using them, so I get to spread the word about reuseit almost every time I shop.

recipients were enthusiastic
We had these bags screenprinted with company logo and used them as our takeaway gift to support our message about recycling plastics at an Earth Day booth. It was a nice, clear visual: pop bottle becomes produce bag. Attendees were very enthusiastic about them.

Lightweight, durable, perfect!
We have been using these bags, in both the medium & large sizes, for several months now, and I have nothing but good things to say. They are great for buying and storing any produce or dry good, except for the finest particles. I was concerned that they might be heavy - and effect the weight of the items that I buy, but that has not been an issue at all. Highly, highly recommend! I'm back today to order more in the medium size (since we've found that we use the medium more than the large for our family of 3)!

Great!
These bags are exactly what I wanted - perfect for purchasing veggies without using plastic produce bags, and then I can store the veggies in them in the fridge. The mesh design lets them breathe, so they don't turn to mush.

Just what I wanted
I love these bags. I hated using the ones at the grocery store and always was annoyed I didn't have my own, so I got my own and they're great! The holes are tiny, so unless I'm getting something really granulated (think sugar or flour), they work wonderfully.

Great Buy!
I bought produce bags awhile back and get so many comments on what a smart idea it is for produce - I have been trying to turn other family member eco and came back to purchase these for my parents. :)

PERFECT!
Been reusing bags for groceries for years but this is the first time buying a produce bag. I love these and will buy more next time, in this and other sizes. For reference, a Medium bag can easily hold 12 Gala apples or two small heads of green lettuce. I looked at several produce bag options on this site but what sold me was the recycled material of this one. Smart, useful, easy to drawstring open and close. Very pleased with this purchase. Thank you Reusit for your fantastic offerings!

Love these!
They are lightweight and easy to see what you have in them. I've already thrown one in the washer and they hold up very well. I need to buy more!

Great Alternative to Plastic Bags
These produce bags are a great alternative to the plastic ones offered at the grocery store. The size is perfect for fruit and vegetables. I only wish the produce stickers stuck to the bags a little better.
