Why does it state that this is a plastic free option? Polyester is plastic, isn't it?

Like Gloria stated, I think what they mean is that you can be "disposable plastic bag" free.

If speaking on a chemistry level, then yes I believe, polyester is derived from olefinic process too. I am not a chemist, but merely a consumer who would like to reduce waste. Since purchasing these bags I have not used any of the disposable plastic bags that markets offer you to bag your produce. If these bags were described as "be free from further disposable plastic bags usage" might be more helpful to you.

Perhaps they meant it is reusable and washable, unlike the green plastic produce bags.

Frankly, I never thought about that, but it sounds like you're right. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110404151735AAhjb4h

I've looked through all the documentation, and there is no reference to the plastics being BPA free.

It says it is mercerized cotton, which I googled and found it has a polyester additive. So I actually think its deceptive to call it 100% cotton.

Yes, the plastic is BPA free. The written material with the product clearly states that. Take a look at the manufacturer's website.

It doesn't say it's free of anything. The plastic is a very hard plastic. They are made in China and patent pending(according to bottom stamps). I'm glad you asked, I assumed it would be free of all the garbage but I'm starting to doubt it as it doesn't say that it is. They were very handy for kids lunches, and for the price not a big deal if one gets misplaced. I won't be buying another set if they don't advertise what they are "free" of. Pretty sad we have to watch our backside so close for fear of what we are ingesting!!

Avoid using #7 plastics as much as possible-it is a mixed bag and you never quite know what kind of plastic is included in the mix. i have emailed this company asking them to explain to me how it can be bpa free and still be a number 7, waiting for the reply.

It is a polyester, very good as I left mine on the stand for 4 months and it held up real well, it gets pretty windy In okla.

The description at the top of the pages states:"Bpa free, hand wash only" - This is not a statement that would apply to anything other than plastic.

I pulled out a can I had on hand and checked for a BPA-free claim. Couldn't find anything so I sent a question to Oceans Natural. This is their response: "Thank you for contacting Ocean Naturals. We're thrilled that you like our tuna, and have been a fan since practically our beginning. As far as your BPA question: Ocean Naturals products are not manufactured with packaging materials (cans or lids) known to contain (BPA) Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether (BADGE), Bisphenol F, Diglycidyl Ether (BFDGE), or Novolac Glycidyl Ether (NOGE). These materials are not intentionally added to any of the packaging components we purchase. While some companies have decided to market their packaging as "BPA free" - as a brand we have stopped short of promoting the cans we use as "BPA free" for one reason. While it seems logical that 'free' means 'free', when it comes to product promises we have elected not to make such an absolute assertion without there being a clearly defined and established standard in place which outlines both a testing methodology and allowable levels we must meet in order to make such a claim. Hopefully a standard will be adopted shortly by the FDA and we can re-evaluate our decision about adding the claim to our package. I hope what I have shared is helpful. Thank you again for contacting Ocean Naturals. We are a young brand and appreciate your feedback. Thank you, Tricia Ocean Naturals"

I don't know for sure and I can't check on it now. It is down at our beach house. If I had to guess, I would say Polyester from the feel of the fabric that I recall and the low price. It is very attractive and we get a lot of compliments on it.

Think it said polyester on packaging. It doesn't make noise (crinkling) and is comfortable.

Ours does not look like polyester it is a nice looking vinyl.....unless they changed it since my purchase.

I did not see any info where it contained flame retardants. It is 100% polyester... Used to refill doggie beds where the original material had mashed flat. Still supportive and being enjoyed by my dogs after a year+. I have an additional box that I will use to give new life to flattened decorative pillows.

On the packaging it says "PVC Free, Lead Free, Phthalate Free," but this thing honestly reeks out of the packaging and after washing. It will probably take many washes for the smell to dissipate. It's either from the plastic it is packaged in or from the item itself.

I assume it is polyester, it's definitely not plastic. It is soft and doesn't make the crunchy noises like others. It fits better than any others that I've purchased. Most bend the mattress because they are so tight, this 1 does not do that
