- To make the non-woven polypropylene, colored pellets are mixed with the polypropylene product at a high heat then the material is cooled and put through a machine that rolls it onto a roll similar to fabric
- There are virtually no greenhouse gas emissions in the making of the material. It can be made to any specific length and width for each order, so there is usually no waste.

- Calico/cotton bags require a large amount of water to produce, as well as emitting high amounts of greenhouse gases.
