Lowepro goes Green - Green Pledge
As a rule, photo backpacks are also made from non-natural materials, although these serve different purposes, such as durability or moisture repellency. Backpacks with the Green Line logo use recycled plastic and other sustainable materials. The recycled content is taken into account in accordance with the GRI 301-2 standard.
What does Green Pledge include?
- rPET, saves up to 50% of new CO? emissions by recycling beverage bottles
- Recycled nylon also leads to a further reduction in CO?, using the waste from nylon factories
- PFC-free DWRm free of perfluorinated chemicals and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFC)
- Recycled polybags (recycled LDPE), which means less CO? is produced and less new crude oil is used
- Solution-dyed polyester, so the fibers of the yarn are dyed earlier and water consumption is reduced by up to 80%
