SEATTLE — Jane Park, owner of Tokki shared six of her favorite sustainable bags. Tokki is offering New Day viewers a special offer using the code King5. Buy One Bag, get One Free.
Jane’s alternatives to plastic:
REWILDER salvages textiles from landfill, sorts and cleans them, them makes them into bags
- Cotopaxi makes one of a kind backpacks with 100% remnant fabric from brands like Northface – they are colorful and unique (I have one to show – available at local bike store Evo).
- Vintage Addiction makes bags out of used military tents – strong and water proof
- Recycled Bicycle Wheels: strong and resistant to wear and tear – local Seattle brand Alchemy Goods is upcycling them into bags. Available at local Recology stores
- Tokki intentionally designed for endless reuse, Tokki is made completely from 100% post-consumer rPET recycled water bottles. The fun QR code attachment gamifies the act of reuse, encouraging people to pass it on vs. just recycling. Use code King5 to get special offer – Buy One Get One Free.
- Burlap made from jute is functional and strong; it’s woven from natural, renewable plant fibers making it easily compostable and biodegradable! Trader Joe’s is a great place to buy them.
