"Seriously Green" -- USA Today

Two years of hard work in the making - we're proud to introduce our first tote bags made from recycled PET. Based on our EarthTote™ and Dual Handled Tote (both customer favorites & proven winners) but made with Next Generation PET fabric that is as strong as it is sustainable. Plus, since we donate 1% of sales to support the environment, these have to be hands-down the most eco-friendly reusable bags you can find anywhere. All part of our obsession to offer the most sustainable bags available through our ACME Bags™ line.

Cool Fact

The fabric used to produce each of these bags reclaims about 5 recycled plastic bottles/containers!

Design & Functionality
In addition to being made from 50% recycled plastic bottles & containers, this bag is practical, innovative & built to last. Ideally suited for grocery shopping (same footprint as paper grocery bag), so it's a smart way to cut down on plastic & paper grocery bag consumption. Features comfy, flat-webbed handles & folds up just like a paper bag for easy transport. Rugged & great looking.

Materials
Made from next generation PET fabric that is as beautiful & strong as it is sustainable. Helps divert disposable plastic containers from our landfills. Unlike cheaper versions of recycled PET that are scratchy and have a tendency to pile badly over time. Unique colors - deep sage (charcoal black with sage undertones) & tan - have a cool sheen and hide dirt well. For occasional cleaning, just toss in washing machine and drip dry.

Recycled PET is a durable, eco-friendly fabric made from post consumer recycled plastic bottles & containers. 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.

JD S - 12/2008	Rating:
Love your better planet policies, products, and service. The Recycled PET Earth Tote is especially great because I just stuff it in its little bag as soon as I empty it, and put it back in my purse to have for the next shopping trip. Thank you! The only negative thing is, it has some folds in the handles that take a little longer to find where to grab them. But it's not a big deal.
