Freitag Creates a Completely Monomaterial and Recyclable Bag Line
Take a look at your favorite bag. How many different materials is it made out of? The backpack and musette bag in Freitag's Mono[PA6] series contain 17 different components: Buckles, straps, zippers, sewing thread, fabric, lanyards, etc. Amazingly, all 17 components are made of the exact same material: PA6, a variant of nylon. This is significant because it means the entire bag can be recycled, without having to dismantle the bag piece by piece. Freitag will take the bags back when you're done with them and recycle them in their entirety. And being Freitag products, the bags are both tough and water-repellent.The PA6 material isn't off-the-shelf nylon; engineering was required. "The search for a single-material fabric that could repel water proved fruitless," the company writes. "Most fabrics like that use coatings or membranes made of other materials. And because we were looking for a mono-material, that was out of the question. So, with a partner, we developed a brand-new fabric that's both water-repellent and a mono-material."The backpack runs $380 and the musette $101.
