Recycled Vegan Leather Handbags

Veganologie's New Bag is Made with 11 Plastic Bottles

— January 20, 2022 — Eco
Veganologie's fully recycled vegan leather handbag is made with PU leather and faux suede lining created from recycled plastic bottles. Every component of the sustainable handbag is made from 100% recycled materials that are GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified and a single bag helps to repurpose about 11 plastic bottles.

To create these handbags, discarded plastic bottles are collected and cleaned, then chopped into pieces for flaking and melting. At this point, the material is ready to be turned into PU leather or made into polyester yarn and knitted to form a working fabric.

The newest line of vegan leather and faux suede handbags from Veganologie uses fully recycled materials and it also shares three crossbody bags, two wallet styles and cardholders in various colors.
Trend Themes
1. Recycled Vegan Leather - Creating products from recycled materials helps to reduce waste and environmental damage, while also appealing to a growing market of eco-conscious consumers.
2. Sustainable Fashion - As consumers become more aware of the impact of fast fashion on the environment, there is an opportunity for companies to create sustainable fashion products that appeal to conscious shoppers.
3. Circular Economy - Adopting a model of creating products from recycled materials that can be reused or repurposed creates a circular economy that reduces waste and has the potential to be profitable for businesses.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can create disruptive innovations by developing more sustainable materials and using them to create fashionable products.
2. Sustainability - Businesses focused on sustainability can use recycled materials to create products that appeal to conscious consumers and help reduce waste in the environment.
3. Environmental Technology - Recycling technology and processes can be improved to create more efficient and cost-effective ways of creating products from recycled materials.
