Best Life Ever – TOTE BAG

What’s it made of

These bags are made out of 75% pre-consumer recycled cotton, 22% post-consumer recycled polyester, and 3% other fibers. The contrasting coloured handles have ethnic or Japanese-inspired graphics and are 60 cm long and 4,25 cm wide for extra comfort.

(The Black night version contains 67% pre-consumer recycled cotton, 30% post-consumer recycled polyester, and 3% other fibers.)

Uhm pre-post-what?

There are 2 different processes to obtain recycled materials.

You have pre-consumer recycling which means scraps and raw materials are recycled during the production of clothes. So nobody has worn or used it, and the scraps and/or left overs are being used to create new threads.

Then there is also post-consumer recycling. This means recycling materials or clothes that have already been used, giving them a second or third (or fourth, or fifth, or whatever number) life. The 20% recycled polyester in these tote bags is actually 2 recycled plastic bottles.
