Have you ever felt bad about buying a plastic water bottle? I know I have. One of the greatest things about living in Madrid is the high quality of the tap water we get from the nearby mountains, courtesy of the Canal Isabel II. So I normally get water from the tap, whether it be at home or at the office. When I need to take it with me, I've got a great Sigg aluminium thermos (you've probably heard of them, but just in case: www.sigg.com).
The problem arises when I have to travel by plane. What with the new restrictions with liquids going through customs, they practically force you to consume bottled water - and at exorbitant prices too!
So imagine the relief I felt when I heard about a Spanish company that actually converts all those plastic bottles into on trend luggage and bags. Ecoalf 1.0 is the name of the project created by Fun & Basics owner Javier Goyeneche.
The idea is pretty basic, and the technology behind it pretty niffty. These bags are made of a pvc free fabric made from plastic bottles! 100% recycled and recyclable. It takes 70 PET bottles to create 1 square meter of ecoalf fabric. And the designs aren't half bad either, thanks to their practical side. You have specific pockets for all your electronic gadgets. Perfect to resist the wear and tear of daily urban life or intercontinetal travel. (www.funbasics.com/ecoalf.htm)
