Eco-Friendly Luggage!!!
With the holidays coming, people will be traveling here and there. Maybe you need a new set of luggage??? I was looking at some online debating if I need an extra suitcase since we have another child. I thought to myself...I'm not buying a piece of hard plastic or something that is made from PVC/Vinyl(the toxins in the air from the off-gasing of those types of luggage will be dreadful for a newborn.)
I happened to see a set of luggage made from RECYCLED PLASTIC from a company called HEYS!!! They even have sets with BIODEGRADABLE FABRIC! It is a genius idea to make biodegradable fabric since those old suitcases end up in a landfill somewhere and making a bonfire with them is not a good idea either since the plastics/chemicals emitted are toxic. My guess is that the fabric luggage is a better choice. Since I have not seen them in person I'm not sure if there is any off-gasing from the recycled ABS hard plastic luggage sets, but will update when I find out. You can almost always tell from the smell of products if it is toxic. If it has a smell...I don't buy it. ABS plastic is better than PVC and durable. Finding a material that will hold up well seems to be why luggage is still made from plastic. read more.
Who knew a company could get so creative and GREEN!!! While I don't need an entire set at the moment, I know where to look when I do! So happy to know an ECO FRIENDLY SUITCASE exists!!!
