Q&A

We sat down with JanSport's head of product design to answer some of your most-asked questions.

WHICH PART IS RECYCLED?

Fabric, woven labels, webbing & cording

Fabric & labels - 100% recycled polyester (post-consumer)

Webbing & cording - 100% recycled nylon (post-industrial)

WHAT ISN'T RECYCLED?

Zippers, ladder locks, and thread (thread is partly recycled)

WHAT'S POST-CONSUMER?

Post-consumer refers to materials that people have actually used and recycled instead of discarding to landfills. 

WHAT IS POST-INDUSTRIAL & PRE-CONSUMER?

Factory waste that is recycled instead of being discarded.

RECYCLED HANGTAGS?

By switching our product hangtags to 100% recycled paper, JanSport has reduced 739 trees annually in addition to using eco- friendly vegetable ink and a water based varnish. 

WHAT'S NEXT FOR OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY?

For JanSport, this is both a journey and a destination. In the spirit of trust and transparency, we encourage our fellow adventurers to track our progress from where we are today to our goals for the future. 

CERTIFIED BY WHO?

JanSport has Global Recycled Standard Certification for the 100% recycled polyester and 100% recycled nylon. 

WHAT IS ECO CORDURA?

JanSport uses 100% recycled polyester Cordura. The process used to make recycled polyester yarn has a lower impact on climate change than the equivalent virgin polyester. 

WHERE'S THE FOAM?

Foam is traditionally used in the back panel and straps, it was removed in order to make the Recycled SuperBreak packable. 

FROM BOTTLE TO FABRIC?

Taking advantage of sophisticated recycling technology, plastic bottles go through a manufacturing process that transforms them into high-quality spun polyester yarn.
