Sustainable Science at the Heart of Every Clean® Market Bag

At Clean® Market Bag, Innovation isn’t an afterthought - its woven into every fiber.

From lab-tested performance to end-of-life responsibility, we’re redefining what a market bag can be.

Our commitment to CleanTech Innovation ensures our products are not only beautiful and durable, but also scientifically validated, biodegradable, and designed for circularity.

Our Materials - Powered by Nature. Proven By Science.

We use Manilla hemp (Abaca) - one of the strongest, most sustainable natural fibers on earth - sourced from the Philippines and handwoven without chemicals. Why Abaca?

  • Naturally antibacterial

  • Grows with minimal water and no pesticides

  • High tensile strength and saltwater resistant

  • Biodegradable and zero microplastics

This heritage fiber, traditionally used in ropes and marine-grade paper, now powers our mission for cleaner materials in everyday products

Lab Results - Independently tested by 5Redo Labs (Ontario, 2025)

We partnered with 5Redo Labs to rigorously evaluate the durability, composability, and biodegradability of our bags.

Tensile Strength

  • Bags were machine-washed 3x.

  • Result - No loss in performance - strength increased to hold up to 42 kg.

Reusable, Reliable. Built to Last.

Composability

  • Simulated industrial composting at 58°C for 90 days.

  • Result: 88..6% disintegration, meeting ASTM D6400 composability standards.

  • Bags can safely return to the earth in commercial compost facilities.

Biodegradability (ongoing)

  • Testing in natural soil over 120 days. Final results expected August 2025.

  • Early signs show promising breakdown behavior in real-world conditions.

Composability and Biodegradability - A bag with a second life - in the soil, not a landfill.

Most ‘eco’ bags claim to be reusable but never address what happens at the end of their life. Clean® Market bags are designed with full lifecycle responsibility.

  • Industrial composting test shows nearly 90% breakdown

  • Made from plant-based, non-toxic fibers

  • No microplastics or chemical residues

  • Pending full biodegradability certification for natural soil breakdown
