Although many still believe that it is a "Chinese tale" climate change is wreaking havoc. The industry and its derivatives are making the planet an uninhabitable place and therefore we must become aware. The human being and his activities are also human beings and that is why unite knowledge with technology be the best way to reduce the negative impact. And from this symbiosis come out curious initiatives such as the one brought by the Japanese firm Subaru…
First of all, remember that in the Japanese style, Subaru is a firm if not premium yes quasi premium. All its models have that aura of exoticism that few brands can impregnate and initiatives like this one distinguish it instantly. As you know, all car manufacturers want to reduce their environmental impact to zero and to achieve it they are already working on it. Well then, the house of the Pleiades has come up with a shopping bag.
Subaru shopping bags are made from scraps left over from making airbags…
Indeed, Subaru wants to be ecofriendly with a shopping bag. But it is not just any, it is one that has been designed and manufactured using materials that are discarded in the production of cars. Or rather, in the production of certain components that go into cars. To be exact, This bag is made with airbag fabric that has not been used in the brand's airbags so they are very very safe...
For its clothing Subaru has Toyoda Gosei, a manufacturer of components and parts for cars in which Toyota has 43% of its shares. But in addition to being recycled bags, they have a social component that few talk about. This product has been manufactured with the cooperation of Gifu Prefecture facilities and with disabled people for “Continuous Employment Support Type A Hitsujigumo Sun”.
All in all, ecological and social component aside, Subaru's bags are a great invention. Shopping is an activity that is done regularly and that on many occasions we end up loaded like mules. And the worst is that in many cases we do not have bags Or the ones that are sold to us in the supermarket are bad, small and break. Well, for about 20 euros (which is what they are worth in exchange) you have a 55 cm long bag with a handle.
How are the new Subaru shopping bags…?
Furthermore, there are two types of designs: one with blue stripes and the other with roses on the handle. In addition, they include reflective bands within these stripes so that they are visible at night. They also sport a Subaru tag that certifies its sustainable and social origin. In summary, if you want to be ecologist and show off with the bag made of airbag fabric, all you have to do is visit the Toyoda Gosei website. Of course, we do not know if they will bring it to Europe...
