Recycled Bag

Only HBD's Beline division offers hospital bags made from 100% recycled fabric.

This fabric is exactly like regular fabric made from petroleum. The one giant difference?

  • HBD Beline’s recycle fabric comes from discarded drink bottles you see cluttering roadsides!

Producing this recycled fabric costs about 20% extra, which adds about 10% to a bags cost. But think about it - paying a little more can have a positive environmental effect.

EnvironShield is available in 70 and 200 denier materials.

  • Ceil blue
  • Yellow
  • 70 denier polyester – barrier
  • 200 denier – oxford

The bottles are melted down and palletized. This is in turn is used to produce polyester yarn, which is used to weave the fabric.

How do I decide whether to use 100% recycled material in my bags, since it costs about 10-20% more but is not really better?

The answer is simple: do you really care about the environment, or not. If you do, why wouldn’t you use 100% recycled material in your bags and why would not you brag about it?

HBD has you covered either way. But remember: one day the law will not give you a choice.
