Finisterre has become the first fashion brand to use garment bags made from Aquapak polymer. The brand has already introduced the new packaging in a few select knitwear lines, while a full roll out is expected in February, when the packaging will be included with all garments in the spring 2020 collection. Garment bags made from Aquapak polymer do not break down into microplastics.
The collaboration is a result of Finisterre’s commitment to eradicate single-use, non-degradable plastic in 2018. Believing that ‘single use is no use’, Finisterre’s discovered that garment bags made from Aquapak’s hot water soluble Hydropol are inherently anti-static, are marine safe and non-toxic. They do not break-down into harmful microplastics in the ocean or on land hence ‘leave no trace’.
The Finisterre bag is made from the hot water soluble version of Aquapak’s Hydropol material. This enables it to be recycled or be dissolved and disposed of safely and benignly in waste water systems.
