@ CES 2008 - Timbuk2
Timbuk2 started making messenger bags in 1989. They’ve always had concern for the environment, and just recently gained some green exposure for recycling PVC trade-show banners into bags (I shudder to think how many banners will end up in the trash after CES). At the show yesterday, we got a chance to talk with Andy and Perry, and they gave us a sneak peek at a prototype bag made from the packaging materials they receive with their fabrics.
They’re planning a green overhaul for their manufacturing facility in San Fransisco later this year, which we’ll be following closely. Be sure to check out their
website.
