These nice large eco friendly tote bags have a zip closer, contrast stitching on the webbed handle, zippered inside pocket and an organizer division with cell phone space.  They weigh nothing but have room for everything!  Extremely sturdy and made from recycled plastic (PETE)…those are the bottles in your recycle container.  The brown/blue/yellow chess design and chicken with penguin logo on the black background say that these eco friendly tote bags are all green and all style!

Gently wipe tote with a wet cloth and soap to clean.  Not machine washable.

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 that is used to make these and other eco friendly tote bags.
