The hero backpack of sustainability! In this edition, two renewable raw materials are used: seaweed extract and castor oil. And that's not all: the new ECO HERO edition is also zero impact!
A one-of-a-kind school backpack that puts the protection of the child's health and our environment in 1st place. Inspired by trekking backpacks, here is the ergonomic and sustainable backpack for primary school. Thanks to the anatomical adjustable shoulder straps and the lumbar belt, the backpack lightens your child's back and distributes the weight stably on the pelvis. And when he grows up you can easily adjust the backpack thanks to the dimensional scale in the backrest in order to always guarantee him a correct position and use the backpack for longer.
In addition, the breathable, high-quality padded mesh in the backrest also offers maximum convenience and comfort. The shape is also optimized for cycling to school and for all the stunts of children on the go!
It is not easy to manage natural resources when making a backpack. However, two renewable raw materials are used in this edition: seaweed extract and castor oil. And that's not all: the new ECO HERO edition is also zero impact! The buckles of this edition are made up of 60% castor oil. It is a renewable alternative, which saves resources and replaces plastic made from petroleum! Castor oil is obtained from the seeds of the plant of the same name, which grows in arid soils without additional irrigation. The resulting oil can also be used to make fibers or plastic parts, like these beautiful translucent buckles! The best part is that we save around 70% CO₂ compared to conventional plastic buckles!
