*new* compostable biobag::

did you know plastic bags + other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures every year? remember the 'happy feet' penguin with the plastic 6-pack holder around his neck? not nice.

for some time, our manufacturers have bagged speesees in plastic bags to keep it clean from factory dust. we have saved/reused them + grappled with the fact that we are using plastic at all as a sustainable business, never mind in a large quantity. we are proud to announce that beginning this may, each speesees will come enclosed in its own compostable/biodegradable bag made of corn. you can probably chew them, but i wouldn't try.

in the meantime, if you do receive a classic speesees garment in a plastic bag, here is list of what you can do to reuse::

*use as an envelope for a crafty snail mail letter
*organize toiletries/travel kit
*separate/store jewelry or office supplies
*kitty/doggy duty: bring them on walks to collect/dispose of pet waste
*suitcase shoe holders: big plastic bags can house a shoe or 2 when packing
*if you come up with any useful tricks, please let us know!

also, for the record, all clean bags labeled #2 (HDPE) or #4 (LLDPE) are recyclable, including::

*grocery bags
*retail bags (remove hard plastic or string handles)
*plastic newspaper bags
*dry cleaning bags (remove paper & hangers)
*mattress bags
