BOTTLES TO BAGS

Not only are Haiku bags durable, organized, and beautiful—they also keep plastic out of landfills. Each bag recycles an average of nine post-consumer plastic bottles.

Recycled polyester is an amazing and versatile fabric that we've been using to make our bags for years. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is one of the most popular plastics in the world, used in plastic bottles and food packaging. A container made from PET will usually have those three letters or the number one stamped on the bottom, inside the universal recycled symbol.

Once the PET is made into fabric, it can enjoy a second life as all kinds of goods—clothing, shoes, and of course, bags! We use Recycled PET for main body fabric as well as our linings; both are backed with a water-resistant coating.
