BETTER MATERIALS FOR A BETTER WORLD
We're committed to using materials that are better for you and the planet. Out of the Woods® bags are made from renewable or recycled material, with lower environmental footprints than conventional materials. This means you can feel good about the bag you bring home.
WASHABLE PAPER
Resembling the rugged charm of well-worn leather, our FSC®-Certified (FSC® C153080) washable paper is made of interlocked wood fibers, blending lightweight durability with sustainability. Because wood fibers are a renewable resource, it has a lower environmental impact compared to most other materials used for bags.
Our washable paper products are made with great attention to detail, surpassing competitors in quality, and setting a new standard in durability. Built to last, our signature washable paper totes can be washed again and again.
Washable paper reimagines what it means to be lightweight. Enjoy the timeless aesthetic of leather without the environmental impact!
WASHABLE PAPER IN ACTION
JUTE
Jute, a renewable resource, is dubbed as the ‘golden textile’ because of its strong, golf fibers and low environmental impact. Being a strong fiber crop pulling tons of carbon out of the atmosphere, jute is doing great things for your bag and the planet! Some of our favorite qualities about Jute:
- It is extremely low maintenance and requires no chemical inputs like fertilizers
and pesticides. - It is SUPER renewable meaning it reaches its maturity in just 4-6 months. When using natural resources, it is important to make sure that we do not use them at a rate faster than which they can replenish.
ocean plastic
Our 100% ocean plastic fabric helps to remove plastic bottles from our oceans and waterways, resulting in a 100% recycled fabric that’s durable and sustainable. This creates a virtuous and economically viable cycle by giving new life to ocean bound plastic while creating awareness and impact toward protecting our oceans and waterways.
