Heys Luggage the New Green
| August 21st, 2009Recycled luggage? Think about it… not exactly what the traveling public is looking for (the concept of who owned this luggage and where has it been, is almost overwhelming - especially when I think about my own set of luggage)…but recyclable luggage, now that’s different. Heys USA, a leading manufacturer of hard sided luggage, has introduced the first eco friendly hardsided luggage set, made from 100% recycled materials… and it is 100% recyclable. Oprah Winfrey has picked the Heys EcoCase luggage set as a featured product on her highly coveted ‘O List’. The ‘O List’ is a regular section in ‘O Magazine’ and features items that Oprah and her team think ‘are just great’
The EcoCase is made from 100% recycled plastic. By utilizing recycled materials to create new durable goods, not only does it help to reduce the demand for new materials and new resources, but it also reduces materials that would otherwise fill a landfill, and all the while giving support to the re cycling industry as well.
The EcoCase is a Spinner luggage set that is very durable, due to its flexible plastic material (ABS), that absorbs impacts. A new blend of ABS gives the EcoCase an elasticity effect similar to a rubber-band. Unlike other hardsided cases, the shell won’t crack… ever!
It is also lightweight, expandable, and is Hey’s first hardsided luggage set to have special ‘Piggy-Back’ straps - which are usually found on soft-sided luggage only. It has a fully lined interior with a built-in divider with a mesh pocket, and an internal telescopic handle system with a push-button locking system.
So the next time you are thinking about being eco friendly, think recyclable luggage that’s made from 100% recycled plastics. It’s a small step forward to help save our environment for today and tomorrow. And, at the same time you’ll be getting a great piece of luggage.
