Your Backpack Is (Literally) Made From Plastic Bottles—And That’s Awesome
Hey you—yes, you, the one scrolling this while sipping oat-milk latte from a reusable cup (heroic), but also just tossed a crumpled water bottle into the “maybe recycling?” bin because the lid was still on (we’ve all been there). Take a breath. Put the guilt down. Grab your favorite snack (preferably unpackaged—or at least in compostable wrapper, no judgment if it’s slightly squished). Because today, we’re talking about something quietly revolutionary happening on your back: your backpack. Yep—the one you’ve had since 2021 that somehow survived three internships, a spontaneous road trip, and that one time you tried to fit an entire library into it. That backpack? It might be made from your old water bottle. Or your neighbor’s. Or that beach-hopper’s plastic bag that floated into the ocean and then got rescued, washed, shredded, melted, spun, and reborn as a sleek, water-resistant, Instagram-ready shoulder companion. Wild, right?
