This stylish little black purse is soft and roomy for a quick run to the grocery or a night on the town, AND it is eco friendly, durable, water resistant, and light weight. Three ways to use!  With the strap attached at both sides, it fits nicely under the arm as a purse.  Attach the strap at the same side, and use it as a wristlet.  Remove the strap, and it becomes a clutch.  Engage Green makes this little black purse using recycled plastic (PETE).  The plastic comes from recycled used soda and water bottles from your curbside recycling programs!  This stylish little black purse is perfect for the nice little black dress.

How is the fabric on this stylish black purse made?  Plastics are collected from curbside recycling and drop-off locations. From there, they go to a material recovery facility, where they are sorted and sent to a reclamation facility. There, the plastic is inspected and washed. Next, it is chopped into small flakes. The flakes are placed into a flotation tank and then dried in a tumbler. The dried flakes are placed in an extruder where they are melted. The melted plastic is sifted through a screen to remove any contaminants, and then it is formed into strands. Finally, the strands are chopped into pellets and sold to manufacturers to make new products, such as the fabric that is used to create Engage Green designs.  It takes approximately 18 used plastic bottles of 16 oz. to make 1 yard of this fabric.
