Eco-responsible school bags: a committed choice for our children

Parents, teachers, and even students, we are increasingly aware of our impact on the planet. The school bag, a daily companion for our children, has become a symbol of this commitment. Caramel & cie, aware of its environmental footprint, has undertaken an ambitious eco-responsible approach to offer school bags that are both trendy and environmentally friendly.

Caramel & cie's Commitment: Eco-Responsibility at the Heart of Production

Caramel & cie's products boast a carbon footprint that is nearly 40% lower than the market average for school bags. This success is part of an eco-design approach aimed at reducing environmental impact at every stage of a product's life cycle, without ever compromising on style or quality.

Recycled Polyester: The Smart Choice

Caramel & cie school bags are made of at least 80% recycled polyester. This eco-friendly material is strong and durable. Recycled polyester allows for ergonomic designs that protect children's backs while remaining economically accessible.

The Goal: 100% Recyclable

The creation process of the school bags now incorporates an eco-design approach. This translates into using less fabric and reducing elements that complicate recycling. The goal is to reach 100% recyclable materials for eco-responsible manufacturing of the school bags, thereby reducing their environmental and financial cost at the end of their life.
