Uses for ESD shielding bags

[fighterpilot]

In our production area we have hundreds of ESD shielding bags we deal with on a daily basis. Typically these are just thrown away like yesterday's trash after being used just once. Has anyone found a novel way to deal with these items by either reusing them or using them for another purpose?

Thanks...

You get one with every SunPass you buy in Florida, so you can keep the toll transceiver in the glovebox if you want to pay cash, are riding in someone else's car, or for whatever reason don't want it to interact with the tollgate.

Do they work on cell phones? If you have a colleague with an annoying ring tone or something who routinely leaves their phone laying around can you pop it in the bag & shut it up?

We tried similar with an old ammunition can once, didn't work and in fact acted as an amplifier to the vibrate:-(.

KENAT,

Have you reminded yourself of faq731-376 recently, or taken a look at posting policies:

More seriously, can you re use them or are you mainly taking boards out of the bag and assembling them onto a product or something so have no internal use for the small bags?

Any local board houses etc you could send them to?

You might talk to your purchasing agent. In the past we made arrangements to return the bags and containers for credit if the volume is high enough to justify the handling.
