Solo New York eliminates all plastic from packaging

One of North America’s Biggest Bag and Luggage Brands Reaches Plastic-Free Packaging Goal.

Solo established this goal in 2020, and all packaging for its bags, luggage, laptop cases, and tablet sleeves are now 100% Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC)-certified recycled, recyclable and biodegradable, including strings and clips of hang-tags. The project involved the entire Solo team – product design, marketing, operations and finance – working together to determine the best way to eliminate plastic while maintaining Solo’s approachable price ranges.

The elimination of plastic in packaging is one part of Solo’s broader sustainability plans to significantly reduce the company’s landfill deposit and reduce pollution while making sustainable bags accessible and affordable for a wide audience. In 2020, Solo received the “Sustainability Initiative of the Year” award from the Business Intelligence Group, and in 2021 received the SEAL “Environmental Initiative Award,” both honoring the company’s work on its Re:cycled Collection of bags and overall business sustainability programs.
“Our next major goal is to remove 40 million PET bottles from landfills by 2024, and we’ll keep raising the bar and holding ourselves accountable to meet our sustainability goals,” added Anders. “The truth today is that sustainability isn’t an option for any company that wants to be successful.”
