[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] The global outdoor brand The North Face, managed by Youngone Outdoor, announced on the 29th that it will launch the 'Eco Backpack Collection' ahead of the 2021 spring season and new school term.
The North Face, which introduced the 'Eco Fleece Collection' made from 10.8 million recycled PET bottles, plans to continue its eco-friendly initiatives by launching the 'Eco Backpack Collection,' featuring 100% recycled PET bottle material applied to the outer fabric.
The newly released 'Big Shot' is an eco-friendly backpack made with 100% recycled PET bottle material derived from 19 PET bottles (based on 500ml bottles) applied to the outer fabric. It enhances practicality with various storage spaces, including a front compartment, side pockets, and internal pockets, and provides comfortable wear even for extended periods by applying 'FlexVent' shoulder straps.
The 'Light Popup Backpack' uses 100% recycled PET bottle material made from 21 PET bottles (based on 500ml bottles) for its outer fabric. It features an antibacterial pocket for mask storage and an emergency whistle, and comes as a set with a necklace-style mini pouch and a tote bag, thoughtfully considering the wearer's safety and convenience.
The 'Classic Cancun Pack,' made from 22 recycled PET bottles, is a product that can store a large capacity of 30 liters despite its lightweight design. It applies mesh material to the back panel to enhance comfort and breathability, and strengthens storage capacity with an internal laptop pocket, external side pockets, front pocket, and internal organizer.
A Youngone Outdoor official stated, "Ahead of the spring season, when new school terms and outdoor activities increase, we have introduced a more diverse range of eco-friendly backpacks that satisfy functionality, style, and eco-friendly values." They added, "The North Face's unique eco-friendly technology and design are being expanded across all product categories, including apparel, footwear, bags, and accessories, providing more options for consumers who value sustainable consumption."
