If you’re looking for sustainable backpacks, this post is for you.

With many of us on our way back to school (or back to work, with the stay-at-home restrictions beginning to ease), we’ve got backpacks on our shopping lists. And who doesn’t love a backpack? They’re super convenient, hold all your must-haves and more, keep your stuff organized, and are your best friend when you’re on the go. But what if I told you there’s even more to love about this beloved bag?? Yep, it’s true. Another benefit that comes with getting your perfect backpack is that you can grab one sustainably made too!

What does sustainable mean?

Merriam-Webster defines sustainable as “a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged.”

The definition by UCLA below helps explain this further:

“Sustainability presumes that resources are finite, and should be used conservatively and wisely with a view to long-term priorities and consequences of the ways in which resources are used. In simplest terms, sustainability is about our children and our grandchildren, and the world we will leave them.”

In other words, it’s about being mindful of the future of our planet and the needs of future generations.
