Solo New York introduced its full Re:cycled Collection at CES 2020—including some bags that are not yet in production—sharing a series of bags that help to repurpose anywhere from three to eight plastic bottles. Thanks to the first run of products from the Re:cycled Collection, nearly 90,000 plastic bottles will be kept from landfills.
The stylish bags include the Re:vive Mini Backpack, Re:store Tote and the Re:move Duffel, each of which is sold with packaging made from recycled materials and biodegradable hang tags.
Every bag from the Re:cycled Collection helps to support the National Forest Foundation, and Solo's website features a pledge page where people can take the Solo Green Pledge for an additional tree to be planted.
