JanSport (USA) announced the upcoming launch of the Recycled SuperBreak, the brand’s first backpack made with 100% recycled fabric. The bags will be available as of May 1.
The Recycled SuperBreak, each containing the equivalent of 20 plastic water bottles* worth of recycled plastic, uses 900 Denier Polyester CORDURA eco fabrics, made of postconsumer waste such as plastic water and soda bottles.
The recycling technology that creates this fabric breaks down plastic through a manufacturing process and transforms it into high-quality spun polyester yarn.
JanSport also uses 60% recycled paper for their product hangtags, in addition to using eco-friendly vegetable ink and a water-based varnish on the hangtags.
