All bags are washable and food carrier shopping bags SHOULD BE WASHED REGULARLY to avoid the risk of unhealthy bacterial growth. 

Spot clean where needed.  For food shopping bags, we recommend hand or machine washing with mild soap and cold water.  Hang dry only.  

The following explains how each type of fabric will react differently to washing.   

• Our 100% recycled plastic bottle fabric will have very little shrinkage, if any.  We prefer this fabric for food shopping bags since it holds up very well even with frequent washing. They can be hand or machine washed in cold water. Hang dry.  
• 100% cotton canvas bags will shrink the most and tends to lose it's shape after washing. 
• Our Hybrid fabric, which is a combination of 70% recycled cotton and 30% recycled plastic bottles, offers less shrinkage than 100% cotton bags and maintains it's look and shape even after washing.

Recycled PET fabric is essentially a form of polyester fabric.  We have tested a few cotton canvas bags in the market and realized that the shrinkage is significant after 1-2 washings. With a few more washings, the bags started to look like rags.  It is important to wash your shopping bags to get rid of dirt and food particles that might lead to unhealthy bacterial growth.   Clean Conscience reusable bags are made with a heavy duty woven fabric that washes and wears better than most cotton canvas bags, even after washing.

Our recycled PET plastic bottles bags are made with 100% post-consumer recycled plastic water bottles.  In case of our Hybrid Tote bags, the fabric is made with a mix of 70% pre-consumer recycled cotton and 30% post-consumer recycled PET plastic water bottles.

Reusable only means that you can reuse it over again.  It does not mean that it is recycled or recyclable.  Recyclable means that it can be re-processed to create new products, which is only possible if there is a recycling facility that will actually accept and re-process the item.  Otherwise, it will still end up in our landfill.

Post-consumer waste materials are those that are obtained from used containers, packaging or other user-discarded items that may have been used in drinks, food items, equipment or any other packaged merchandise.   Pre-consumer waste materials are those obtained from manufacturing excesses or overruns from factories.   By reclaiming waste materials to use for our green products, we help reduce the amount of trash that would otherwise go into our landfill.  We also help minimize the depletion of natural resources by eliminating the need to use virgin raw materials.

We believe that the best way to be green is to conserve the use of virgin raw materials, reduce the amount of trash, utilize recycled materials to make new goods, and employ our domestic factories to help support America's economy.  We create products that use recycled materials that were sourced domestically and built right here at home in America.
