Recycled Fabric Pouches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

TRMTAB Uses Recycled Material to Make Leather Pouches for Tech Devices

— June 1, 2014 — Tech
TRMTAB makes leather pouches for tech. If the narrative ended there, we wouldn't be talking about anything innovative at all, but the way that TRMTAB goes about making its leather pouches is quite different.

If you've ever heard the term "left on the cutting room floor" you know that it usually refers to movies. In this case though, TRMTAB (that derived its name from the small tabs on a boat) is using the term to create quality leather good for tech.

The reason this is so important is because when retailers create goods they can have obscene amounts of waste that simply gets thrown by the wayside. TRMTAB is using that material, repurposing it and creating pouches and other equipment that suit the needs of any modern day tech user.
Trend Themes
1. Repurposed Materials - Using discarded materials to create new products opens up opportunities for sustainable and eco-friendly innovation.
2. Circular Economy - Adopting a circular economy model can lead to the creation of innovative products by reusing waste and reducing environmental impact.
3. Upcycled Fashion - Transforming waste materials into fashionable and functional tech accessories presents a disruptive opportunity in the fashion industry.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Accessories - The fashion industry can explore the use of repurposed materials to create innovative and sustainable fashion accessories.
2. Electronics and Technology - The tech industry can incorporate upcycled and eco-friendly materials in their products, such as pouches for tech devices, to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
3. Sustainable Packaging - The packaging industry can focus on producing eco-friendly alternatives by leveraging repurposed materials for packaging solutions.
