The Fabric
Recycled PET is a durable, eco-friendly fabric made from post consumer recycled plastic bottles & containers, and is as beautiful & strong as it is sustainable. Unique colors have a cool sheen and hide dirt well. For occasional cleaning, just toss in washing machine and drip dry.
Using recycled PET is smart - it cuts down on waste & minimizes damage to the environment by conserving oil, energy & non-renewable resources. In the U.S. alone over 45 billion plastic containers end up in landfills in 2006. Choosing products made from recycled PET promotes a more sustainable path for plastic. Thanks for doing your part.
Cool Fact
The fabric used to produce each of these bags reclaims about 5 recycled plastic bottles/containers.
