Fashion products are notorious for not being able to be recycled at end-of-life and subsequently leading them towards the landfill, which is something the Vaude Novum 3D recyclable backpack is designed to completely change.
Posited as the world's first, the backpack is presently in the prototype phase and is achieved using 100% thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that will allow the accessory to be easily recycled after use. This comes as a far less complicated design when compared to other options on the market that contain anywhere from five to 10 materials.
The Vaude Novum 3D recyclable backpack will be shown off at the 2022 OutDoor by ISPO show in June where it's sure to get a lot of interest amongst eco enthusiasts alike.
