The main interior compartment is divided into two sections, one with its own easily accessible zippered pocket. There’s a snap closure to keep everything secure. PETE, the plastic used, comes from recycled used soda and water bottles from your curbside recycling programs!  These eco friendly messengers bags let you deliver the Green!

How is the fabric 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.  From your trash to beautiful and practical.  These eco friendly messenger bags with the NYC skyline are cool to carry.
