Lowepro manufactures its new and updated Adventura shoulder bags with up to 88% Green Line fabrics. Using recycled and solution-dyed fabrics saves water, reduces GHG emissions, and is ultimately better for the environment.

Green Line Update

Lowepro's popular Adventura collection has been updated with Lowepro Green line, which means it is now made with recycled and solution-dyed fabric. The Green Line is represented by a loading bar, indicating the percentage of recycled, and now solution-dyed fabrics used when manufacturing bags. Lowepro used up to 88% of green line fabrics to create this bag.

Solution-Dyed Fabrics

Lowepro's new line of bags are made from dope-dyed black fabrics and recycled linings/webbings, which reduce water use and CO2 emissions.

Dope dyeing, also called solution or spun dyeing, is a production technique to color synthetic fibers such as acrylic, nylon, and polyester. With this technique pigments are added to the liquid polymer solution before synthetic fibers are extruded. Instead of the traditional wet yarn dyeing, in which the yarn is knitted or weaved first into a fabric, which is then dyed as a whole, dope dyed yarn is the opposite. Traditional wet dyeing has created problems for both the environment and human health. Large amounts of chemicals and dyes are used in wet processing, wasting water and releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment. Using dope dyed fabrics reduces greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and chemical usage.
