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. Made with Eco Circle fabric - a closed-loop, cradle-to-cradle recycling system for polyester products - this bag is the pinnacle of our efforts to push the envelope with sustainable performance materials.

In 2002 we introduced our innovative ACME Bags™ Workhorse; replacing 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. This roomy tote makes a great everyday carry-all bag. Ideally suited for grocery shopping, so it's a smart way to cut down on plastic & paper grocery bag consumption.


Product Details

Dimensions:
2" x 4" x 2" pouch
14" H (not including handles) x 16" W x 6" D unfolded

Design & Functionality
Our Eco Circle 100% Recycled Tote 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 14"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
Eco Circle provides a closed-loop recycling system for polyester products, producing a recycled polyester fiber with the same strength and durability as new fiber – but without 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.

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%.

About ACME Bags™

All made from sustainable, high-performance materials and in accordance with fair labor / fair trade practices. All ACME Bag are backed by a 100% Lifetime Guarantee against defects in materials or construction. Read more...

About Eco Circle
Eco Circle 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.

This is my favorite bag!!!
2 out of 2 customers found this review helpful

by Cheryl A - 11/2009

I really like the long handles and the fabric is so soft to the touch. This bag rests very nicely on my shoulders and does not slip. The length of the handles are a nice bonus as I am tall and have long arms. It is nice to walk around the store before I make my purchases with it as it stays in place and is comfortable and it also wears nicely when full of items. I would trade most of my other bags for more of this one!!!

by Bruce M - 05/2009

Carried this on the plane on a recent trip to carry on neck pillows, which are usually bulky and unruly. Two fit nicely in the bag along with a book and snacks for the flight. We also used it to cart all the accessories one needs for the pool each day. After use it folds up into it's own pouch. It was the perfect lightweight tote. Holds up nicely and is attractive. Excellent customer service from this company as well.

I like the way they store in their own convenient pouch. I tell the baggers at the grocery store to load them up because they can take the weight and they are always amazed. Goodbye plastic bags!

I keep this in my purse and take it everywhere. It's sturdy, easily goes back into it's pouch, and is small enough that I always have it available to carry those few little purchases from the drug store or spontaneous grocerey store visit. I've given them to evereyone as gifts, too.

These bags are great

These bags are great. The longer handles make them a lot easier to throw over my shoulder and leave my hands free to carry even more stuff (or hold little hands).

I bought these as gifts because I LOVE these bags
1 out of 1 customers found this review helpful

by Elspeth G - 09/2009

I bought these as gifts because I LOVE these bags. They are a perfect size and I can carry them on my shoulder. I just wish that the ones I bought a few months ago for myself were the same size as the new ones (the new ones fold up even smaller than the old ones).

Wonderful product

by Terry M - 01/2010

I bought some of these along with additional acme bags because of the length of the handles. I wanted a few that I could carry on my shoulders and thought that these handles looked long enough. They not only are long enough but they also stay put once they are on your shoulder, something I'd worried about with the fabric. I'll probably end up buying a few more of these in future purchases.
