Marmot UpCycle® products minimize our impact on the environment by using natural, organic, and recycled or discarded materials that would otherwise end up in landfills.
In our Eco Pro sleeping bag line, we use both an UpCycle® fabric as well as insulation. The fabric is made from recycled plastic soda bottles...hence the name “UpCycle”. When you recycle a plastic bottle, you get another plastic bottle; when we UpCycle® a plastic bottle, we get fabric, a greater value and a broader use. Our Eco Pro insulation contains 80% post consumer waste, and is a hollow core continuous filament.






I recently bought an Urban Hauler Med, foremost because of its supposedly environmental benefits. My question is: why does the label inside the bag say that its made solely out of new material, when its supposed to be made of recycled, or upcycled, material?
