Is the BagWasher recyclable?
The BagWasher itself is made from 100% recycled plastic and will be 100% recyclable after its long and effective life cycle. The BagWasher will last for thousands of wash cycles. The color of the BagWasher is so that it is even more desirable for recycling companies.
Does the BagWasher collapse for storing?
The BagWasher does not collapse, thereby ensuring that the entire bag is washed and dried as efficiently as possible. Reusing every zip-top bag by washing them in the dishwasher will reduce the amount of plastic waste going into your trash can, and reduce waste going to the landfill. Washing zip-top plastic bags in the dishwasher does clean the bags effectively.
Does the BagWasher fit a silicone-style bag?
Yes, the silicone bags do fit BagWasher. In the future, we will have more BagWasher sizes available. While silicone bags are a wonderful option for food storage millions of Americans still use the zip-top style plastic bags for freezing foods and are still considered the easiest least expensive go-to option for food storage. Americans are so accustomed to grabbing a box of zip-top bags at the store that it’s almost second nature. Recycling those zip-top bags usually requires a separate company or drop-off place to recycle that type of plastic film bag.
Wash, reuse wash, and reuse, again and again. Reduce plastic waste one bag at a time.
Is the BagWasher a US made product?
The BagWasher will be made at an injection molding company by the name of Sea-lect, located in Everett, Washington. The process of injection molding requires a certain type of ‘mold’, and those molds are made overseas. After that mold is made the BagWasher will be made, packaged, and shipped only by American companies. We support American businesses. All parts of the BagWasher including the packaging of the product will be recyclable
How much space does it take up in the dishwasher?
Washing your zip-top bags in the dishwasher is fast and easy and reduces water consumption. If you use the gallon BagWasher that will take up 4 dishwasher prongs or 8 inches wide x 5 inches deep. That equates to 3 plates. If you place the quart-sized BagWasher in that will take 6.5 inches x 3 inches deep. Which equates to 3 prongs of the rack.
