Recently my husband, who travels A LOT, wore out his backpack. While searching on Ebags we discovered this Keen Backpack. We were mostly looking for functionality and not-dorky factors. But when we got the Keen home and read the label we discovered this on the materials list:
- 100% recycled aluminum components
- 100% recycled interior liner
- 100% recycled molded rubber bottom
This is the kind of construction I hope to see more of. This was an affordable bag, attractive and functional, AND it is made with recycled materials. What’s more, they don’t use recycling as their sales pitch, it seems from their site and their products that recycled materials just seemed to be the responsible choice, and so they made that choice. Here’s hoping we’re going to be surprised by more responsible companies in the future!
I absolutely love Keen products. Their shoes are amazingly comfortable, and they have great customer service! My Mary Janes recently broke, so I called their service line. They directed me to a super-easy to use warranty claim form on their web site. I’m still waiting to see if I get the exact replacement, or they replace them with a different pair, but still. They’re going to REPLACE my shoes because my strap broke. That’s pretty awesome, if you ask me!
That’s awesome. I was just looking at the mary janes on the site.
