Choosing bags made from upcycled inputs helps reduce waste, lowers demand for virgin materials, and supports a circular economy. Look for clear material sourcing on product pages (e.g.,yoga mats, sandal web, tarps, nets, bottles, fabric remnants, mesh,) and check whether brands publish impact reports or supply-chain details.
