Some very cool laptop backpacks are out on the market with more arriving every day, and luckily, there are an increasing number that are made from recycled materials - many of which you can make yourself. This particular backpack touts that it is made from 100% recycled materials.
Leeds is again up front with a number of functional and stylist additions to their Owl line of 51% & 100% recycled material bags, portfolios and totes (see certificate from Leeds website). One of the new items is the Owl 100% Recycled Deluxe Compu-Backpack. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled material (product label affirms claim) the backpack holds most 17″ laptops.
The certificate states that it is 85% recycled PET, and 15% of the content is from pre-consumer industral source.
It looks a bit stiff to carry around, but that is because of the significant padding for your laptop. Loads of compartments are available to carry your other doo-dads.
There are quite a few different styles of bags, sleeves and totes made from part or all recycled materials as well.
