Washable Paper is made mostly of tree cellulose that is bonded with a polymer to transform it from regular paper to washable paper. The tree cellulose is sourced from FSC-certified forests to ensure it is responsibly sourced to protect our ecosystem. And because trees are a renewable resource, Washable Paper has a lower carbon footprint compared to many other materials used for bags.

The polymer used to transform our tree cellulose is a synthetic latex. This ensures the material stays strong through repeated washings while also being allergen-free. Our Washable Paper is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified, guaranteeing that it is free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances including PVCs and PFAs.

Our 100% ocean plastic fabric helps to remove plastic bottles from our oceans and waterways, resulting in a 100% recycled fabric that’s durable and sustainable. The plastic trash is shredded into flakes, then small pellets, which are transformed into a durable yarn or fabric. This creates a virtuous and economically viable cycle by giving new life to ocean bound plastic while creating awareness and impact toward protecting our oceans and waterways.

Jute, a renewable resource, is dubbed as the ‘golden textile’ because of its strong, golf fibers and low environmental impact. Being a strong fiber crop pulling tons of carbon out of the atmosphere, jute is doing great things for your bag and the planet! Some of our favorite qualities about Jute:

- It is extremely low maintenance and requires no chemical inputs like fertilizers and pesticides.

- It is SUPER renewable meaning it reaches its maturity in just 4-6 months. When using natural resources, it is important to make sure that we do not use them at a rate faster than which they cam replenish.

Made from 100% recycled PET bottles, our premium Felt is not only thick and soft, but also keeps plastic out of landfills.

Our Felt is a sustainable choice that doesn’t compromise on quality. It’s thick, plush body is perfect for creating stylish, structured designs.

By using 100% recycled plastic bottles, we reduce landfill waste and minimize our environmental impact so you can feel good about carrying our high quality Felt bags.

Out of the Woods® bags and coolers are all designed in California and produced internationally:

- Washable Paper and Felt bags in Vietnam

While parts of the bag are made from recyclable or compostable materials, the combination of components means they may not be accepted by all recycling programs. We recommend checking with your local recycling provider for guidance on proper disposal.

How long can you keep hot foods in our cooler bags?

Our insulated bags help keep hot food warm. We recommend storing hot food in the bag for no more than an hour before serving. For best results, we recommend reheating at your destination if needed. Always keep food safety guidelines in mind when traveling with hot items.

How long can you keep cold foods in our cooler bags?

Our insulated bags can keep items cool for up to 5 hours, depending on conditions. For best results, fill the bag as much as possible with cold items, use ice packs if it’s not full, and keep it closed and out of direct sun or heat.

Can I put ice directly in cooler bags?

We don’t recommend placing loose ice directly in the bags. While the lining is water-resistant, the coolers aren’t designed to hold liquids. For best results, use reusable ice packs or sealable baggies filled with ice.

While parts of the bag are made from recyclable or compostable materials, the combination of components means they may not be accepted by all recycling programs. We recommend checking with your local recycling provider for guidance on proper disposal.
