Macam: fewer bags in the bin

A reusable dust bag that replaces hundreds of disposables

Disposable vacuum and dust extractor bags are used once and thrown away, and most of them cannot be recycled. Macam was created to offer a reusable alternative for the machines people already own.

Each Macam bag is rated for up to 500 emptying cycles. When it is full, you empty it, shake it out and put it back, with no need to keep a stock of spare bags or wait for the next delivery.

The bags are made from durable multi-layer polyester fleece and are tested in real working conditions. Every product has some environmental cost, but using one bag for years instead of hundreds of single-use bags means far less waste to make, ship and dispose of.

Our aim is to offer a reusable bag for as many machines as possible, one model at a time. Read more about our approach.
