Ecogears bags are environmentally conscious because the brand uses Repreve—recycled fiber from plastic bottles. Small things can make a big difference, so why not start by saving the world one bag at a time? What is REPREVE? REPREVE is a brand of fiber that is made from recycled materials including used plastic bottles. Because they don’t need to create new resources, this cuts harmful elements such as petroleum and greenhouse gases out of the manufacturing process. How do they do it? Most plastic water bottles are made of polyester called PET or polyethylene terephthalate. The bottles are broken down into plastic flakes which are then converted into usable fiber for many different products. Creating better products for all: Many companies use REPREVE materials to make more sustainable products that are environmentally friendly. From clothes to backpacks, REPREVE has transformed plastic water bottles into different products for all: 7 bottles for a pair of khakis, 5 bottles for a t-shirt, 42 bottles for car seats.
EcoGear is always looking to find ways to make backpacks more eco-friendly, which is why their bags are made from REPREVE material.
