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.
