How do I look after my olve. shoppers?
Unlike other reusable shopping bags, you don’t need to wash me often. Your olve. bag will self disinfect and break down bacteria over a 0-4 hours period after each use. We recommend washing every 2-3 months if using on a weekly basis. In the meantime, the antimicrobial fibres will keep you and your food protected from nasty bacteria and will reduce the formation of odours.
What makes up an olve. bags?
Each olve. bag is made up of 2 main components. The first is ethically sourced recycled polyester and the second is our signature anti-microbial fibre.
Our recycled polyester is made from plastic that would’ve otherwise clog landfills, littered oceans and threaten wildlife. We have full traceability of all our fibres and we make our fabric right here at home in Australia. We do this so we can ensure you that we hold our partners accountable to the highest standard of ethical production.
Where are olve. products made?
We believe in ethical manufacturing and recycled materials. That’s why we produce our fabric here is Australia where we have full visibility of the manufacturing process.
Each bag is constructed by our trusted partners in Fiji. Our partners are committed and focused in every facet of their business with respect to its employees, the environment and their local communities. Since their establishment in 1981 they have been promoting eco-efficiency, cleaner technology, effective use of resources, economic equality, responsible products, recycling and ethical environmental practices.
We believe ethics in manufacturing goes beyond the production processes. For us it is also about providing our customers with a quality product that is constructed to last, protects the people and protects the planet.
How is olve. protection different to other antibacterial products on the market, you ask?
Unlike olve. protection the majority of antibacterial fabrics on the market have been treated with aftermarket coatings like silverplus® or SILVADUR™. Those these coatings are effective when first purchasing, their efficacy is reduced after each wash and no longer effective after a maximum of 50 washes, with the potential for leaching silver salts into the environment.
olve. protection incorporates safe, EPA-registered silver and copper salts from Kodak, a world leader in silver science and technologies. Microscopic particles of Kodak’s silver and copper are embedded within the fibers, making its antimicrobial properties intrinsic to the fabric, preventing leaching and providing coverage from top to bottom for the life of the product.
Has olve. protection been tested and scientifically proven in a laboratory?
YES! olve. protection fibre has been tested to measure it’s efficacy against a wide range of bacteria.
