Reuseit.com Introduces the Next Generation of Eco-friendly Shopping Bags for Earth Day

Top picks for a truly sustainable Earth Day + the bluesign® Workhorse

In 2003, reuseit.com developed the first-ever ultra-compact shopping bag, the ACME Workhorse 1500 - the bag that launched an entire category of compactable reusable shopping bags. Today the company introduces the new reuseit™ bluesign® Workhorse – an innovative, truly-sustainable improved version of the original Workhorse bag. Unlike cheap giveaway bags that are so popular around Earth Day, these bags are manufactured with the lowest-possible environmental impact and made to last for years and years.

In addition to the reuseit™ bluesign® Workhorse, the company has also created a Top Picks list for Earth Day, featuring ten of our more unique, truly sustainable products.

About Bluesign®
The bluesign® standard is applied to the entire chain of production – from raw materials to finished product – even the waste produced when manufacturing textiles. Bluesign®-certified fabrics are manufactured without substances that pose a potential threat to human health or the environment. To put it simply, bluesign® certification takes sustainability to the next level. So you aren’t just making a difference by bringing your own shopping bag, but you’re actually supporting a sustainable production chain.
