The fine folks at TOKYObay sent me (my wife) a green grocery bag to use and write a review about. Now you might be asking what this has to do with green construction and it really doesn’t. However, I’m all for promoting green living ideas and products so I agreed to do a review for them.
The CARRYECO green grocery bag is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. They are produced in audited manufacturing plants so you know these bags are the real deal.
A chic tote and an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable bags. The large capacity tote goes from beach to town and conveniently folds into its own interior pocket. CarryEco bags are manufactured in an ethically audited factory in a choice of 8 colorful prints. Produced from 100% recycled bottles. 26″ x 17″ w/handle drop 11″
So the real question is what did my wife and I think of these environmentally responsible bags? We already use re-usable bags that we bought at Hannaford’s and Walmart so I was curious to compare them to the one from TOKYObay.
There is no doubt that the ones available from TOKYObay are much more fashionable. My wife thought the bag had a nice design and the ones available all offer some great designs. For me the comparison was in performance. My first impressions have been mixed. I honestly like the “stiffer” canvas type bags that we already own. The reason I say that is they hold their shape better and make it easier to load and unload the groceries. Both types of bags definitely hold more groceries compared to today’s plastic bags.
The verdict is pretty simple. If you’re looking for a stylish alternative to the boring look of recycled grocery bags then you should check out the bags that TOKYObay offers. No matter which type you choose the real issue is making the switch and helping to reduce the waste that happens everyday in this country with plastic grocery bags.
Thanks for sharing your product TOKYObay and I hope more people will start using recylced grocery bags in the future.

Todd,
My wife uses these too. As we are seeing economic strife in this country, I believe people are becoming more and more aware of “being green” to help our country (and the entire earth for that matter) as not only are we in an economic crisis, but an energy crisis as well.

PS: I added todays green to my links on the fence site. Keep up the good work.
