Eco-Friendly Paper Backpacks

Trapper is a Stylish Paper Backpack Made of Sustainable Materials

— May 11, 2022 — Social Good
Trapper is a stylish paper backpack made of sustainable, eco-friendly materials. The company behind this design hopes to reduce pollution and Co2.

With every purchase, the company plants a tree with the Tree Nation. Together they hope to reforest the planet and fight climate change.

The bag works just like any other backpack. It can be put in the washing machine and quickly dried like a piece of clothing. In fact, the bag is completely waterproof and will keep everything inside it safe from water.

The bag is made of kraft paper, and all materials used were recycled. They are available in brown, grey, and pink, and the company hopes the public will support its initiative to reduce carbon emissions and plant new trees.
