These fun backpacks for kids make great school bags or travel bags for journeys away from home and are also a creative way to raise awareness of environmental issues and recycling possibilities with children. 

Very practical with adjustable shoulder straps, secure zip closure, lining with an inside pocket and a roomy outside zip compartment.

The juicepack foil pouches used for the kids backpacks are non-biodegradable and end up not only in landfill sites and incinerators but also litter streets and clog drainage systems, lakes and rivers. To prevent this happening, a co-operative of workers in The Philippines organise regular collections of the juicepacks and provide us instead with these creatively recycled kids backpacks.

The recycled backpacks are made by a women's co-operative of over 500 workers based near Manila in The Philippines.

In addition to providing fair wages and working conditions in an area of high unemployment, the cooperative also promotes the importance of education for members' kids and provides a scholarship fund to make this possible.
