Children’s backpacks made from upcycled aircraft fabrics
To commemorate World Environment Day and as part of an environmental strategy that includes a commitment to consuming responsibly, Emirates is re-purposing more than 50,000 kg of materials from 191 aircraft undergoing a cabin interior refresh.
The Dubai-based airline will give new life to the materials and is producing thousands of handmade children’s backpacks and schoolbags, which will be donated to community schools and organisations supporting early education across Africa and Asia this year.
