Frequently Asked Questions
1. What material is the Clean Market Bag made of?
The Clean Market Bag is made from Manila Hemp fibers, also called Abaca. This natural, sustainable material is fully biodegradable and compostable, making it an eco-friendly choice over traditional plastic bags. Abaca fibers are known for their strength, flexibility, and natural antibacterial qualities, helping your bag stay fresh and clean after each use.
2. How long does the Clean Market Bag last?
Our bags are designed to be durable and long-lasting. With proper care, a Clean Market Bag can last for over 10 years. This longevity helps reduce the need for frequent replacements, making it a sustainable option with a better life cycle than most popular reusable bags made of cotton or polyethylene.
3. Are your bags compostable and biodegradable?
Yes. Clean Market Bags are made entirely from Manila hemp (abaca), a natural plant fibre. Unlike synthetic or “biodegradable plastic” bags, our bags are 100% plant-based, free of chemicals, and contain zero microplastics. When placed in composting conditions, abaca fibre naturally breaks down and returns to the soil without leaving harmful residues. At the same time, the bag is exceptionally durable - designed to last for years, making it both sustainable and practical.
4. Can the Clean Market Bag be washed?
Yes, the Clean Market Bag is washable. You can hand-wash it in cold water or machine-wash it on a regular cycle using cold water. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals to extend the life of your bag. Allow the bag to air dry completely before use. Washing instructions are easily accessible in the footer of this website.
