  • See-thru for easy checkout
  • Smart alternative to plastic produce bags
  • Each bag saves a 1-liter plastic bottle from landfills
  • Compact & lightweight w/drawstring closure
  • Saves time at home - rinse your produce right in the bag!

  • Check out SmartCycle's reusable shopping bag

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.


Product Details

Dimensions:
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.

About SmartCycle
The SmartCycle vision is that of a world in which plastic packaging is not seen as a waste, but rather, as a resource. With products ranging from food containers to reusable shopping bags, their smart containers not only save energy, but they also support the collection and reuse of recyclable items.

Cool Facts
-Recycling 3,240 one liter bottles saves one cubic yard of landfill space
-Recycling 24,000 one liter bottles saves:
  • 60 million BTU of energy

  • 3.8 tons of greenhouse gas

  • 2.8 tons of air emissions and

  • 16 barrels of oil


Care Instructions

Smart, Practical, Sturdy And Attractive
2 out of 2 customers found this review helpful

by Barbara H - 12/2009

I hadn't used net bags for shopping since my European student days. I thought these particular ones might work for the larger purpose of selecting, weighing, buying, carrying and storing loose fruits and veggies here at home. I bought four of them to try out and almost immediately ordered many more! I use them with produce preserver discs in both fridge bins and have noticed an appreciable difference in fresh food quality, longevity and cost. I also keep a stash in both cars so I always have some available for shopping. IMO these bags are just the right size for a singleton's produce needs and refrigerator bins; they wash easily and dry quickly; the mesh is large enough to see what;s inside and yet sturdy enough to protect the contents; and the attractive imprinted design gets other shoppers' attention and inqueries. In summary, I think the product offers both a practical ROI and a smart way to help save the planet. Highly recommended!

by Vera T - 10/2009

These are by far the best and most versatile reusable produce bags I've found. Their only flaw is the large tag, which is sewn deep into the side seam, making it difficult to trim down thoroughly without harming the bag itself.

mesh and drawstring are nice, but ugly

by B. D - 01/2010

i initially had the smartcycle mesh produce bags but was so put off by the sterile white bag and the garbage print on it that I bought the Baggu bags which looked more attractive. In the end, I prefer using the softer finer mesh of the smartcycle bags and cinching the bags shut. It's also a plus to divert bottles with the material used.

I like being able to not have new produce bags each week. These are nice bags, easy to use. The grocery checkers can even read the produce number thru the mesh.

by Claire T - 11/2009

I really like using these instead of the grocery store produce bags. I purchased another kind as well, but I prefer these, because the checkout folks can see the produce and its number more easily through the plastic mesh of these bags. I'll be getting some of these for stocking stuffers.

These are great. Big enough for two medium heads of cabbage. Can see the contents and I like the drawstring.

A great way to further reduce the excessive plastic. Nice product, but I could do with less plastic bottle prints.

Nice product but does add little weight

by Katherine O - 02/2010

Works well, nice quality, holds all sizes of produce. But it does add a little weight compared to plastic produce bag. I'll probably try to use it for produce that's not paid by weight and re-use plastic bags for others.

Sturdy & easy to clean; bottle print :(

by JJ L - 01/2010

These bags clean easily and work great especially for long items like celery and green onions. Only thing I'd change is to the remove the green bottle print. I understand the point, but it is not that attractive. For Christmas, I used produce bags as an eco-friendly wrap for gifts to friends/colleagues. I chose another produce bag (Flip & Tumble's) because they worked as well and looked better.

I love these!

by Theresa C - 01/2010

I received these as a gift and absolutely love them! I will be ordering them to give to friends (birthday gifts, hostess gifts, etc.). I will also be ordering more for me as 2 are not enough for my produce items each week! I highly recommend them to take the place of those plastic bags you get in the grocery for produce!

Lovely bags

by Adam E - 01/2010

These are great. We use them every week for veggies and bakery items, and we don't have to waste plastic anymore.

Great produce bag!

by Mary D - 01/2010

I love these bags. They are lightweight and see through. So easy to use in conventional grocery stores. I get more compliments on these and the grocery bags by the same manufacturer than any other bag I use. I highly recommend these bags to anyone that's thinking about buying them. They are definitely a good purchase.

produce bags

by Kerri D - 01/2010

I gave your recycled PET produce bags to friends and family for the holidays. It's a start! I've trained myself to use canvas grocery bags instead of plastic and paper; I feel great about using produce bags instead of all that plastic.

I think they're fun and practical (more so than the cotton bags I already have). The grocery store clerk commented on how cute they are.
