Samsonite is packing sustainability into every journey with the launch of its cutting-edge circular luggage limited editions—complete with Digital Product Passports. Each suitcase now carries a unique digital identity, giving customers detailed insights into the product’s origin, materials, care tips, and end-of-life recycling options.
The ESSENS™ Circular line features shells made from 80% recycled materials—35% of which come from pre-owned suitcases that were collected, disassembled, and reborn using recycled polymers from LyondellBasell. Meanwhile, the PROXIS™ Circular is Samsonite’s first suitcase crafted with bio-circular materials, including suitcase shells derived from cooking oil using the ISCC-certified mass balance approach. With 65% of the entire suitcase made from bio-circular and recycled content, Samsonite is aligning with consumer demand for sustainable travel solutions.
