PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is the primary material used in the making of plastic bottles for beverages and can be recycled into a variety of useful materials; including fabric. Recycled PET is used to make ChicoBag's new backpack and reusable shopping bag. We have bundled the two products together into a unique gift set that includes:
- The Recycled PET backpack is an innovative ultra-lightweight daypack made of durable, recycled PET ripstop fabric. It stuffs into an integrated zip pouch and features adjustable straps, flexible lycra bottle pockets, and is made of 89 percent recycled content. This lightweight pack is ideal for an urban shopper, outdoor enthusiast, or cycling commuter.
- The Recycled PET shopping bag is made from seven plastic bottles including 99% recycled content and 73% of its total weight is from post consumer recycled materials. It holds up to 25 lbs and easily stuffs into a small integrated pouch for storage.
Give the gift of reusability for a birthday, graduation, housewarming, or holiday with one of our reusable shopping bag sets. Remind friends that while shopping it is recommended to carry several reusable bags. In addition, more and more stores are giving a $0.05 rebate for each reusable grocery bag used in place of a single use plastic bag.
