I am looking forward to reading more from you. Keep up the good work. This unfortunately has little to do with the reality of biodegradability; in real world disposal scenarios, without the controlled conditions specified in these standards, the bags will not break down and biodegrade in a reasonable amount of time and will not decompose to organic material that can be put to use by other micro-organisms, as the term biodegradable suggests. You are always really kind towards readers like me and help me in my lifestyle. Thank you.

so it is not economically friendly to me to buy the more expensive bags, but because I use the cheaper bags only 1 or 2 times a month they have lasted almost 2 years. And yes I have washed them- the only problem is the lettering wearing off.the strong, durable polyester bags are still our best sellers and the profits from the sales of these bags have allowed us to research and develop our own material in partnership with UNIFI of the USA.Wow, this is very interesting. I generally feel guilty for using paper instead of plastic. I guess I shouldn’t! Cotton Bags

I knew those store reusable bags struck me as odd. I’m convinced they are not much better for the environment than plastic bags! I love cloth bags, that’s where it’s at.

All of those bags are hybrid versions of ladies handbags. I like the Burberry, but the size needs to be increased a half size…those cutesy buckles on the signature check bag need to be increased as well. Leather closures should not be that size as they appear dainty and a mans bag should not appear dainty.

Dear Sam I take my hat off to companies who make bags from reclaimed material, this is a great idea. Envirosax is actually releasing a product along these lines in January 2010. After making bags from hemp, bamboo viscose, linen and organic cotton, the strong, durable polyester bags are still our best sellers and the profits from the sales of these bags have allowed us to research and develop our own material in partnership with UNIFI of the USA. Recently we have released our own Envirosax fabric which contains 45% Repreve RPET which is 100% recycled content certified by the SCS in San Francisco. In January 2010 in New York we will be releasing many other products made from this new fabric. You can read about Envirosax RPET on our FAQ http://www.envirosax.com/faq#a_envirosaxrpet
