Upcycled Summer Backpacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Patagonia Introduced Its Arbor Pack Collection for the Summer Season

— July 23, 2018 — Eco
Ventura-based label Patagonia unveiled its latest Arbor Pack collection for the Summer season. The label is often recognized for making efficient use of recycled materials and its latest capsule lives up to the same standard as every item is made from sustainable sources. The Arbor Pack collection is comprised of four backpacks in total -- the Arbor Market Pack 15L, the Arbor Classic Pack 25L, the Arbor Grande Pack 28L and the Arbor Day Pack 20L. Overall, every item boasts an original heritage design aesthetic but is now elevated using 100% recycled materials.

Patagonia reuses eight and a half plastic bottles for the construction of one bag and its solution dyeing technique reduces up to half a gallon of water for each bag. This process also reduces carbon dioxide by 96%. Notably, every bag has multiple pockets, compartments and even a padded laptop sleeve.

1. Upcycled Backpacks - The use of upcycled materials in backpack design presents an opportunity for brands to create sustainable and environmentally-friendly products.
2. Sustainable Fashion - The rise of sustainable fashion brands like Patagonia highlights the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly clothing and accessories.
3. Circular Economy - The practice of reusing plastic bottles and other materials in bag production demonstrates the potential for businesses to adopt circular economy principles and reduce waste.
Industry Implications
