How do you recognize a sustainable backpack?
You can primarily identify a sustainable backpack by its environmentally friendly materials. While conventional backpacks are often made from newly produced plastic, sustainable models rely on recycled raw materials such as ocean plastic and recycled PET . These materials are not only resource-saving but also actively contribute to reducing plastic waste. Other features of a sustainable backpack include:
- Vegan materials and alternatives to animal products.
- Waterproof and robust fabrics that guarantee a long service life.
Our sustainable materials: Recycled ocean plastic and PET
Our sustainable backpacks are made from recycled marine plastic , which is reclaimed from the oceans. This is plastic waste fished out of the sea to combat ocean pollution. The manufacturing process is complex and consists of several steps:
- Collection and cleaning : Plastic waste is collected from the ocean, often by specialized organizations and local fishermen. The waste is sorted, cleaned, and removed from other contaminants.
- Shredding and melting : The cleaned plastic is shredded and then melted to produce new plastic fibers.
- Fabric production : These plastic fibers are woven into durable textiles, which are then used to produce our sustainable backpacks .
By using ocean plastic , we actively contribute to reducing plastic waste and protecting marine life. One of our bestsellers is the sustainable AHI backpack from SONS OF ALOHA. This fantastic backpack is our bestseller for a reason: Besides its cool looks, it's also practical:
- Material : 1000 D Tarpaulin, waterproof
- Extra 15" laptop compartment, spacious inner compartment with mesh pocket, trolley fix and two bottle holders
- Back padding
2. Recycled PET: Bottles become textiles
Another important component of our backpacks is recycled PET , which is made from old plastic bottles. The process for recycling PET bottles is as follows:
- Collection of bottles : Old PET bottles are collected and sorted by color and quality.
- Cleaning and crushing : The bottles are cleaned, labeled and crushed.
- Regranulation : The crushed bottles are melted and processed into small pellets.
- Fiber production : These pellets are then used to create new plastic fibers, which are woven into robust textiles.
These fabrics are durable, water-repellent, and hard-wearing—perfect for a sustainably waterproof backpack that will see you through all weather conditions. Our favorite from the sustainable backpacks category is the KANE XL roll-top backpack from SONS OF ALOHA. Its closure allows for a perfect size adjustment to your needs.
