Antibacterial Reusable Bags

We're proud to offer the only reusable bags treated with chitin, a natural anti-microbial product derived from crab shells that helps prevent food-borne illness such as e-coli.

AP-360 is an antimicrobial product that controls harmful and odor causing bacteria (MRSA), mold, mildew and fungus. It is produced from natural resources that are abundantly renewable. Chitin, the active substance, is derived from the shells of crabs and contains unique antimicrobial properties. The antimicrobial characteristics of chitin have been known for some time, but have not been commercially viable due to a lack of durability at a reasonable cost. AP-360 has overcome the durability vs. cost issue.

Safety Rating

No antimicrobial registered with the EPA can be designated as "non-toxic" no matter how low the toxicity potential. All goods are labeled as either Danger (highest); Warning; or Caution (lowest). AP-360 has a caution (lowest) rating and is safe to use for everyone, including those with shellfish allergies. AP-360 is non-leaching and fully biodegradable.
