Urban Laptop Sleeve
One sleeve. One salvaged panel.
A slim, padded laptop sleeve cut from a single reclaimed tarpaulin panel — water-resistant on the outside, soft-lined for the screen. Made from the offcuts the backpacks can't use.
Repurposing waste materials reduces overall waste and drives more efficient use of resources, cutting environmental footprint across the supply chain.
Repurposing processes run on minimal energy and carbon output compared with virgin-material production, contributing concrete steps against climate change.
Delivered through collaboration across independent businesses in three countries — proof that cross-sector partnerships can scale sustainable production.
