Are these the "original" tub trugs made from 100% recycled polyethylene, the same that are made in Spain for harvesting fruit in orchards?

I don't have a clue. I just know the first one my wife bought lasted several years and we purchased two more so we could each have one to use.

These are fabulous! Use them for laundry, the garden, anything. They bend and are virtually indestructible!!!

I don't think so but I am only sayinh that because the one my client gave me several years ago is an original and there is a significant difference in way materials feel and look. That being said, I really have no idea if it's same material only " improved" or something.

As to the origin of materials for this product I am sorry to say that I do not know. I used them last summer and recycled the box. I do know however that they were manufactured in the USA. Also, they were incredibly helpful in gripping ivy to surface for rooting.

Biobag (http://www.biobagusa.com) markets these. I don't know what their relationship with the factory(s) is, whether they own them. My box says "Made in the USA with resin sourced from Italy."According to the Biobag website, the bags are made from Mater-Bi™ is produced by Novamont, an Italian research company dedicated to environmental alternatives to polyethylene-based plastics.

I think the tubs are but the motors are now made in China that is what went bad the first time I used mine. They did send a replacement and I have used it about 4 times so far and its been ok.

I'm not sure if this particular one is made from recycled material. I do know that others (that are listed) do say made from recycled material. One can recycle or reuse them.

it is not original, it's made in China from recycled glass, I thought they (I bought 2 different ones) were original and had the original zinc lids, but they are reproductions. I still love them.

The box says China. These tubes are great.. they are the real thing. we have been using real tubes for years (because they last for years) and they are now hard to find and we are glad we found these. They are built tough but you need to know how to use real tubes. Inflate with with quick burst of air - stop go, stop go; this keeps the tubes round. To dis-inflate use a valve tool (get at any hardware or auto store) to remove the valve core to let the air out. The valve stems are small and rubber coated. we do not have a pool - but these tubes rock on our lake.

The origin is not obvious from the packaging. It is made/sold by Librett and the only address is "New Rochelle, NY 10801" The packaging says it is earth safe and biodegradable (Item # CBT244).

Yes the tub says.... Results and Recovery Drink now has an Allergen Information statement that says the product is "... manufactured in a plant that also processes egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and wheat (gluten) ingredients."Though I know people who have allergies to nuts and never had a problem. It does have this warning though!

Pears is made in India now. I think it's produced in Bhopal where the Union Carbide plant exploded and killed thousands. I still buy the darn soap.

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.

The last bullet of the item description states Made of 30% post-consumer materials. So it's made with recycled materials NOT a used product.

I still had the bag so I looked, it is made in China. These are great sponges! I know you will enjoy them!

I returned them (color not as depicted in photos, and the vendor was unable to answer my questions about possible BPA content or where the jugs were made), so cannot answer your question about what the plastic/recycle number is.

The bottles are made of polyethylene, which is free of BPA. Polyethylene products have a slight odor when they are new, but the compounds that produce the odor are harmless. Zip-closure food storage bags are made from polyethylene; polyethylene containers have been used to package food and beverages for over 60 years and have never been shown to have any adverse effects on health.

No, just made by them. Use them all the time, they are great, not as expensive as sponges and don't mildew as quickly as they dry fast.
