JanSport's Recycled SuperBreak is its first backpack made with 100% recycled fabric. Each Recycled SuperBreak contains the equivalent of 20 plastic water bottles worth of recycled plastic and uses 900 Denier Polyester CORDURA eco-friendly fabrics made of post-consumer waste like plastic water and soda bottles.
As well as working with materials that are already in circulation, JanSport manufactures its Recycled SuperBreak style with renewable energy from a solar power system, the fabric is produced with a solvent-free coating and the product is sold with hangtags made with 60% recycled paper. Notably, the traditional foam used in the back panel and straps of every JanSport pack was removed to make the Recycled SuperBreak fully packable.
