HNGE Backpack Context Rewilder’s Airbag Backpack—handmade from 100% upcycled airbags and seatbelts. Rewilder transforms this lightweight, strong, waterproof, and beautiful material into the best eco backpack on the market. Handmade in California. Challenge The auto industry trashes hundreds of thousands of tons of material each year. Much of this is high performance, non-recyclable material that lasts thousands of years in our landfills. Impact To date, we've made 479 CHNGE backpacks with custom graphic design and embroidery. This diverts 127K lbs of CO2 from entering the earth's atmosphere, which is like planting 2,874 trees, or driving over 143K miles (enough to circle the earth 5 1/2 times in your car!)
