Steve asked, "After you use the containers for a while, do they get saturated with ethylene and become unable to absorb more?"


According to what I have learned is that the active ingredient in Green Bags and Green Containers is zeolite, a volcanic mineral that absorbs gases including ethylene. When the zeolite becomes saturated with a gas, it can be regenerated/restored by putting it in sunshine for 8 hours or in a 200 degree oven for an hour.
