Sorry if I'm overlooking this in the description, but what makes this "eco-friendly"? Also, what material is it made of, and is there a smell to it?

We have purchased items like this on the cheap and have regretted it every time as the sun deteriorated them rather quickly. This one is a bit more spendy but it has been worth every penny. It doesn't smell and it claims to be made of recycled materials, but how would I know? It is some kind of heavy gauge nylon synthetic with a thicker padding. We have a Goldendoodle which is about 65 lbs and gets fairly wet sometimes when we go to the park but the seat remains dry when he plops down on it. Don't know what else to tell you except that when the day comes to replace it we will be buying another.

50 percent of the fibers in this cover are made from recycled plastic bottles. No smell. NOT PVC! NO PHTHALATES like that found in the cheaper vinyl coated covers. Also PVC is harmful to ground water and air from chlorine during manufacture. This cover has NO PVC.

No smell- true, eco friendly? No idea but sounds good. I own it, it's useful but just OK for my dog, he's too big and drags it around the seats when he moves. Probably would be better for a smaller dog, mine 150# Mastiff.

All I can tell you is that it is made of 100% polyester. We take 15-20 minute showers and no water is on the floor. They wash up wonderfully. We bought two and switch monthly. No more plastic smell. We love them!

I honestly am not sure what it said it was made of, when I got it. But it seems like nylon - (it's slick and comes clean better than my reusable teabags. It keeps from staining like teabags as well). I hope that helps.

I agree it is not plastic, I have had mine since November love the look. I have black and if you don't dry it every day it starts to turns white, then I have to scrub it agin. Haven't yet figured out the perfect cleaning product on it yet.

It's made of some kind of plastic. I don't not if it's BPA free or not. If it isn't I am going to throw it away.

It is made of a plastic type material. It is not weather proof for long periods of time. I bought mine as an outdoor kitchen for my deck and it has warped in the sun.

Anna, I am not exactly sure what it is made of but it appeared to be the normal nylon tent material - if that helps. My kids were definitely shaded from the sun under it. I did not notice any odor, but we opened and used it outside where I probably would not have notice anything anyway.

I've had mine for quite a while so there is no plastic smell. I don't remember if it had one in the beginning. It is pretty thick. That is one thing I liked about it.

It is Eco-Friendly PEVA. PVC & Chlorine Free.(as stated on the packaging) It 'did not' have that usual, strong plastic smell that is common with plastic products.

I think if it was BPA Free they'd be bragging about it and it would be indicated in an easily found manner. The fact that no one can find the info means to me that it is not BPA. Texas is not the most ecologically friendly or health-oriented environment as a whole. The Amazon ad here says that they were made from recycled plastics which is likely more of an economical rather than ecological or health oriented decision, IMHO.

I would describe it as a mix between plastic and petroleum. I am not sensitive to smells and usually don't care about it...but this thing did have a pretty strong smell to it. (Much less than others, but still strong).

Eco friendly means they are biodegradable. The bags will eventually dissolve in a landfill.

It is made of plastic but I am not sure if it's recycled. Also, I am not sure if it is food grade because I am just using it for a houseplant. Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

It's some synthetic. I prefer to cover it with a cotton sheet because otherwise it causes some sweating. I would most definitely not leave it outside

I want to say "yes" to the question "is this bag acid free" because in its description, it specifically says "Eco-friendly" meaning, it does not contain or is made from anything harmful to the environment. I hope this helps.

I believe it is green. The cover is bamboo. There was no odor whatsoever when I opened the packaging. I still let it air out for a couple days before I made the bed though. VERY comfortable and a great choice.
