Sustainable Daypack Gregory Resin

Functional sustainability

The new Resin series from Gregory was created specifically with reduced environmental impact in mind. The packs are constructed predominantly from recycled fabrics and offer eco-transparency for end users. Using a lifecycle assessment tool, Gregory measured the environmental impact of its packs from creation to end-of-life disposal. Based on the results, the backpack expert has developed its new Resin series to offer sustainable and functional daypacks. Their carbon footprint is 58 per cent less than the same product made from conventional (virgin) nylon. All three Resin models guarantee good weather-resistant protection and ease of use. Whether trail or urban use – the Resin pack represents a sustainable solution for everyday adventure.

To develop the new daypacks, backpack expert Gregory used a tool it internally calls its “carbon compass” to analyse the CO2 footprint of its products. Gregory developed the tool in partnership with Sphera (formerly Thinkstep), a world-renowned sustainability firm from Germany. It enabled the design team to assess the environmental impacts across all stages of a pack’s life, from raw material creation, through manufacturing and distribution, to end-of-life.

The new Resin packs were designed according to the findings and are made mainly of recycled and recyclable textiles. The result is production with a 58% reduction in carbon footprint compared to conventional nylon pack production. Moreover, by using recycled materials the Resin packs use 49 per cent less energy and 39 per cent less water.

In addition to the reduced environmental impact, Gregory’s Resin packs deliver high functionality. They feature a weather-resistant front panel and a practical handle. As part of the sleek, modern pack design, this front-control grab handle and large zippered main opening also make for easy loading. The Resin 26 and Resin 30 feature an external-accessed, zippered, padded sleeve for tablets up to 9.7” and laptops up to 15,6”. While the 24-litre version has an interior laptop sleeve in the main compartment. Wallet, keys or other important smaller items can be safely stowed away in the side access zipper pocked with secure zipper catch.

The Resin packs are available from Fall 2020 in 24, 26 and 30-litre volumes in the colours Sienna Red, Obsidian Black, Acadia Blue (24 litres only) and Cascade Green (26 litres only).
