Recycled Plastic Blue Wallet
by Engage Green

This wallet will fit any pocket or purse AND it is eco friendly, durable, water resistant, light weight.  Three sections to store your money, credit card, and driver’s license or anything else you need close at hand.  One of the sections is on the exterior and two are on the interior.  Engage Green makes this wallet using recycled plastic (PETE).  The plastic comes from recycled used soda and water bottles from your curbside recycling programs!

Gently wipe 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.
