About Us
Purplesac is a mother-daughter team focused on sustainable initiatives for the environment.
We started during a recycling school project and found troubling facts about landfill depletion. Surprisingly, our research showed that 5% of landfills are already full of bags. In our coat closet, we discovered many bags and backpacks made from harmful materials. We recognize the dual threat of these items ending up in landfills and their environmental impact during production. We are committed to addressing this through conscientious practices and small-scale changes.
rPET For OurBackpacks
In a world where environmental concerns are at an all-time high, it's crucial to make conscious choices that contribute to the well-being of our planet. Our backpacks crafted from rPET are not just stylish companions for your adventures but also a powerful statement in support of environmental sustainability. Our purpose is clear, to offer sustainable bags that serve both consumers and the environment, harmonizing the needs of both.
What is rPet?
rPET stands for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, a type of polyester that is produced by recycling PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic. PET is a commonly used material for the production of plastic bottles, containers, and packaging.
The recycling process of RPET involves collecting, sorting, and processing used PET plastic items. These items are then cleaned, melted, and transformed into small pellets that can be used to create new products. The recycled pellets can be spun into fibers or molded into various shapes, making RPET a versatile material.
