Have you ever considered replacing your resealable plastic bags for something more….green? Sure resealables are convenient, but they are expensive and they are not an environmentally-friendly choice since they are difficult to recycle. I recently found a local company that that has a “greener” solution for us all.

Velcro closure and washable lining
Random Sacks of Kindness will change the way you think about storage. Their bags have an outer shell of 100% cotton fabric. The lining is a white Polyurethane Laminated Polyester manufactured by Fabrite that is BPA free! The lining provides a waterproof barrier that can be washed multiple times at high temperatures (Many homemade cloth diaper covers use PUL). The closure is a White Hook and Loop Fastener (generic name for Velcro). Their bags are great for school lunches, make-up, toiletries, toothbrush/toothpaste, sunglasses, or anything else that can be carried or stored in a plastic bag, and they are completely REUSABLE! They have a waterproof barrier, so go ahead and throw some grapes or a wet swimsuit into the bag! Plus, they are easy to clean. I use a snack size to throw carrots and other snacks in when on the run, and the snack size also works great as a sunglass case. The owner of Random Sacks of Kindness, Shannon, recommends either wiping out the bags and turning them inside out to dry or tossing them into your washer and dryer! Shannon tests all of her products concepts on her family of 6 before she sells them.

i love the idea for those produce bags!
Shannon’s bags are AMAZING!!!! She has sold a bunch at our school, SCVi.
Shannon gave me one as a christmas gift. I love it and want to purchase some more.
My daughter uses the bags daily for her lunch. They are great! I use the bags for storing electronic chargers so the cords don’t get all tangled in the “junk drawer”. I also use a small bag to carry my feminine products.
These bags are great. I have been using them for both my kids lunches as well as for medications. My kids both have allergies so I’ve got to keep certain meds on me at all times. They are much better than carrying a plastic bag in your purse! Thanks, Shannon!

these rsok bags have been great! we’ve had them for probably a year or more and they have held up perfectly. I have two kids who use them in their lunches and through all the washing and drying they still work great. The velcro has held up and the fabrics are so cute! shannon really puts a lot of thought into her products. i will be ordering more soon! great job!
I am a big fan too. If you place on order with RSOK, make sure you put SCENEINSCV in the comments so your order will ship FREE!
