Recycled Aluminum
Recycling scrap aluminum uses just 5% of the energy required to create virgin aluminum. When first-time aluminum is manufactured, the extraction, transportation, and processing required uses large amounts of energy, emits CO2, and degrades the natural environment due to deforestation and mining. Recycling aluminum not only reduces these harmful consequences, but also decreases the amount of aluminum taking up space in landfills. Best of all, aluminum maintains the same properties each time it is recycled, so it can be transformed into new materials indefinitely.
Recycled Plastic
Recycled plastic utilizes salvaged post-industrial plastic scraps and post-consumer products such as water bottles and other plastic containers, and transforms them into new products. The containers are sorted, crushed, and then heated to form resins, which are liquid plastics that can harden into new shapes. These resins can be molded and used to create anything from carpet to outdoor furniture. Recycling plastic lowers the amount of petroleum extracted and the production of greenhouse gasses associated with first-time plastic production. Plus, by using these existing materials, we’re benefiting from the original energy and resources spent to create them in the first place, while diverting waste from the landfill.
Repreve
Repreve is a certified brand of 100% post-consumer recycled PET fabric. Recycled PET utilizes salvaged post-consumer products such as water bottles and other plastic containers. These plastics are dried, crushed, and spun into yarn in order to create recycled PET fabric, or polyester. By providing a use for recycled plastics, companies encourage recycling programs worldwide, while adding new value to discarded items. Currently, over half of virgin PET production goes towards making textiles, so by utilizing recycled PET, post-consumer materials are both diverting waste while taking the place of raw materials. This helps to reduce the demand for the extraction of oil, as well as energy used to produce new synthetic fibers. Repreve has saved over 4 billion water bottles from entering the landfill since 2009.

Really like the material of this bag and how large it is! It is also very easy to get back in the tiny bag, which I was a little worried was going to be hard to do. This bag is super helpful for farmers marker trips.

It’s a reusable bag that I will actually use instead of forgetting it in my car trunk. The material is sturdy and holds well even with a ton of stuff in it. My mom loved it so much that she took mine and asked me to order another!

I ordered two of these and am in love. I have one clipped to my purse at all times and will clip the second one on if I think it might be needed. Have used everywhere from the gas station to clothes shopping and it is super convenient. My husband has even mentioned eventually replacing all of our old reusable bags for these when the time comes because they’re so spacious and easy to carry around. I completely agree!

I love this bag – the handles are wide enough that I can comfortable throw the bag of groceries over my shoulder rather than carry it around. Very spacious – I haven’t had a problem with packing things in there and leaving with just one or two for thirty to forty items. This one gave me a little bit of trouble packing it back up, though. It seems like the drawstring is kind of stuck not opening all the way. A bit troublesome, but still solid!

I absolutely love this bag. It folds up into a perfect size to clip onto a back pack or purse and have it daily so there are no more excuses for not having a reusable bag. Which is great when you like to go on random adventures or even just stop in at the store. When it unfolds it it HUGE!! Everyone in my family should expect this for gifts this year.

Of the many types and shapes of reusable grocery bags I’ve used over the years, this is by far the best. The wide handles make for comfortable carrying, the bag holds a ton, and it folds up for easy storage and transport to the store. I also find that the shape of the bag lets it stand up reasonably well despite being unstructured, so no groceries spilling out on the car ride home.
