We very much impress people with our meeting bag supply. I recycled or freecycled 64 of them last year! They are not very exciting, but they are handy. nm I love these, but since the beginning of the year, my TH and I have accumulated seven canvas or cordura bags from conferences that work really well.

The Envirosax is a strong durable water resistant polyester tote. The bags are made of polyester becuase their purpose as a reusable bags is to last a very long time.

I was at the gift store of the art gallery here in Sydney and saw these yesterday and bought one. Such a great idea. What a coincidence.

Are they biodegradable or recycleable? Are they made from a renewable resource? I have been re-using doubled up paper bags for years now. A double paper bag is free and can last for more than a year and when it is done, it can be recycled. But what are they made of? Are they biodegradable or recycleable?

The website doesn't seem to say. Is it fabric-y or plastic-y (to use very "official" words)? ;) Super cute, but a question (for whoever owns them) -- what are they made out of?

Japan is addicted to plastic bags and I got annoyed looks at first, but now my check-out folks know the drill. I reserved these cute bags so I can continue my new habit back in the States. Thanks!

Anyway, I looked up the Envirosax Web site and dug individual bags up at tikabou.com. Closed till Sunday and a little more to buy separately, but perhaps a good way to fix yourself up with some? Personally, I see a new knitting bag in my future... Hi there - can't remember if I've ever posted before, but I came for the craft tutorials (a couple of years ago) and stayed for the regular posts.
