rePETe:
Give Plastics a Second Life
rePETe is more than a material –it’s a promise to turn waste into something wonderful. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, rePETe fabrics help give discarded bottles a second chance. From bags to straps, liners, and carabiners, ChicoBag incorporates recycled content wherever possible.
What Makes rePETe Special?
- Full-Circle Impact: rePETe products keep waste out of landfills and oceans.
- Durability You Can Count On: Designed to last, reducing the need for single-use plastics.
- Eco-Friendly Versatility: Used across a wide range of ChicoBag products for maximum impact.
When you see the rePETe tag, you know you’re choosing a product that’s tough on waste and gentle on the earth. Together, we can make sure those bottles find a better future – one reusable bag at a time.
Refine:
Color with a Conscience
Refine is more than just a process – it’s a sustainable revolution in fabric dyeing. By adding colour directly to recycled plastic pellets before they’re spun into yarn, Refine eliminates the need for water-intensive dyeing methods. The result? Bright, vibrant colours that don’t drain the planet.
Why Refine Matters:
- 89% Less Water Used: Every bag helps conserve precious resources.
- 63% Lower CO₂ Emissions: Cleaner air, lighter footprint.
- 60% Less Energy: Because we’re all about reducing dependence on new materials.
From bold gradients to rich solids, Refine proves that sustainability can be stylish. When you choose a ChicoBag made with Refine, you’re making a choice that’s better for the planet.
