Creative Upcycled Bag Materials

We have only five years before 1.5 °C

Freitag, an upcycling bag manufacturer, has started using undetonated airbags as material for its bags. The new material, while unusual, is highly durable. Freitag is known for making bags out of upcycled truck tarps, recycled plastic bottles, and other unwanted and discarded materials.

The brand's shift to undetonated airbags is thus not entirely surprising. Used to create the new F707 STRATOS backpack, the new material highlights the brand's innovation. Made from B-stock airbags taken out of commission after failing quality tests, the well-designed bags boast plenty of storage space. The backpack folds up compactly to easily tuck it away when it is not in use. This sleek design combines tarp and airbag material to create a unique product.
