Recycled Black Hole® Bags

Durable gear haulers that reduce the amount of waste being thrown into landfills.

Most clothes are made using energy from coal-fueled power plants. This adds warming gases into the air we breathe and accelerates the climate crisis. In just one year, the clothing industry will contribute 1.2 billion tons of CO2 emissions into our air. That’s as many emissions as international flights and maritime shipping combined.

Extracting and processing virgin materials takes a toll on land, water and air. To do our part, Patagonia is moving toward 100% renewable and recycled raw materials. By using both synthetic and natural fibers made from pre-consumer and post-consumer waste, we are limiting our dependence on raw materials and reducing carbon emissions.
