How is a sustainable backpack made?

Instead of throwing away used items, we can use them for your new backpack. Many brands and manufacturers use everyday objects such as truck tarpaulins or old tires to develop recycled backpacks . You give discarded products a second chance and our customers a new backpack.

How is a sustainable backpack made from recycled bottles?

Some manufacturers such as GOT BAG use plastic bottles as raw material for production. Plastic bottles can be found almost everywhere, because almost all drinks are filled in PET packaging, which means that over 50% of plastic packaging worldwide is made of PET. It depends on the individual case whether the recycling is actually sustainable. Many raw materials are not infinitely available and therefore it makes sense to use materials that we would otherwise throw away anyway.

Is a backpack really sustainable through upcycling?

Especially for bottles for which there is no deposit, it can be said that recycling and using PET bottles makes sense. Another crucial aspect of sustainability is the lower energy requirement for recycling compared to creating something new. That's why a recycled backpack is definitely more sustainable than newly produced backpacks. With a recycling backpack you are definitely doing something good for the environment.
