Bag-E-Wash is a great way to easily wash and reuse your plastic food storage bags. It fits right in your dishwasher. You put the bags you get from the market over the Bag-E-Wash, and they come out of the dishwasher clean and sanitized! Bag-E-Wash is a first of its kind allowing you to easily wash and reuse your plastic food storage bags. The Bag-E-Wash itself is made from
recycled nylon. It is a dishwasher attachment designed to hold bags open and secure for efficient and sanitary cleaning and drying. It is adjustable for use with quart and gallon-size bags.
A July 2002 EPA report stated that Americans discarded more than 3.3 million tons of low and high density
polyethylene bags in 2000. Of those 3.3 million tons only 5.4% were recovered and recycled. Plastic bags are also among the "dirty dozen" - the top 12 items most often found in coastal cleanups.
America alone produces 10 pounds of plastic bags per year for every person on earth! That is a lot of plastic bags. However, Bag-E-Wash can make a huge dent in the number of bags that wind up in the landfills. One box (30) of gallon size bags washed and dried with Bag-E- Wash and reused 50 times each keeps 1,500 bags out of the landfill!
