This bag's fabric is "dope dyed". In this mass dyeing process, the thread itself is dyed, rather than the fabric, which reduces the amount of water used to make the product.
Compared with the previous version of this bag, where the fabric was dyed, the process has reduced:
- CO2 emissions by 38%
- fine particulate emissions by 53% (PM2.5)
- excess mineral content in fresh water by 62%
- excess mineral content in sea water by 67%
