What are Zerowaste Products bags made from?
Bags are made from several different fabrics
Non-woven polypropylene (nwpp) is a strong, breathable, esthetically pleasing material that is soft to the touch and cost effective. Our nwpp material comes with environmental certification (upon request) stating lead, cadmium and mercury content virtually none and much lower than industry standards.
Nwpp material has less an ecological and environmental impact (foot print) than single use plastic or paper one time use bags
Woven Polypropylene (wpp) is strong, not breathable nor soft to the touch unlike nwpp
