What makes your soap different from conventional dish soaps?

The main difference between our eco-friendly dish soap and conventional dish soaps lies in what’s left out of our formula. While many conventional dish soaps contain harsh chemicals like parabens and sulphates, our formula is free from these harmful ingredients.

But perhaps the most significant difference is what you won’t find on our label: warnings about harming aquatic life or damaging the environment. Unlike conventional dish soaps, which often come with cautionary statements about their impact on marine ecosystems and our skin, our eco-friendly dish soap is formulated with care and conscience. It’s tough on grease but gentle on the planet.

What are your veggiebags and bread bags made from?

Our veggie bags and bread bags are made from two environmentally friendly materials: RPET and cotton. RPET bags are crafted from recycled plastic bottles, offering a sustainable solution to single-use plastic waste. On the other hand, our cotton bags are made from natural fibers, providing a reusable and biodegradable option. Both materials are durable, washable, and designed to help you reduce your environmental footprint while keeping your produce and bread fresh. Whether you prefer the versatility of RPET or the natural feel of cotton, we have a bag that suits your needs and values.

What is RPET?

RPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or recycled PET. PET is a strong, durable and recyclable material that is used for soda bottles, water bottles and food jars. RPET is produced by collecting, sorting and recycling PET, then refining the material into flakes that can be turned into new products. Using RPET as an alternative to PVC is a huge step forward on the path toward a greener, safer and cleaner future.

Why did you choose RPET?

A whopping 91% of the world’s plastic is not recycled! Being that the market for recycled plastic is quite small, it doesn’t pay to collect and recycle it. If companies such as veco start opting for RPET, the demand automatically increases and in turn more plastic is collected and recycled rather than left to pollute our oceans and environment.

Our bags can be re-used over and over and really are a great solution to single-use plastic bags – which most of the time don’t even end up being recycled. So when you think about it – we’re saving 620 plastic bags per household from being added to our landfills each year.

Is RPET food grade safe?

Yes, our RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) material is food grade safe and certified to meet stringent standards for contact with food. The materials used in our RPET veggie bags and bread bags are food grade certified according to COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No. 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food, as well as the German food, Articles of Daily Use, and Feed Code (LFGB), section 30 & 31. These certifications ensure that our RPET bags meet strict criteria for safety and hygiene when in contact with food items. You can trust that our RPET bags are not only eco-friendly but also food-safe for your peace of mind.

How do I care for my reusable bags?

Our produce and bread bags are machine-washable up to 30º and can also be hand washed in cold water. Hang to dry in the shade and do not tumble dry!
