Eco bags

Our eco bags are made from sustainable materials such as sturdy cotton or mesh structures of reusable quality. They are designed for everyday use and can easily carry groceries, books or other heavy items. The material is sturdy, long-lasting and much stronger than standard plastic bags. So you can replace dozens of disposable bags with ease.

Most eco bags can be washed on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid high temperatures or harsh detergents; these can damage or shrink the cotton. After that, just let the bag air dry. Do not tumble dry; this will keep the shape and make the bag last longer.

Our eco bags are sturdy and can take a lot. They can accommodate heavy groceries, a stack of books or your lunch and laptop. Of course it varies a bit by design and fabric, but they are all built for daily use. Tip: distribute heavy loads well, that way seams and fabric will stay in top condition the longest.

Yes, that's exactly what they are made for. Each sustainable bag replaces hundreds of plastic bags. By using one reusable bag often, you instantly save waste and help reduce pollution. And you're also contributing to Retulps mission: less plastic, more recycling and supporting projects for clean drinking water and oceans.

To be sure. The bags are light, foldable and roomy enough for everything: groceries, sports gear, your lunch or work gear. Thanks to the compact design, it slips easily into your pocket or handbag. Whether you're going to the supermarket, market or work, an eco bag is always handy and a conscious choice.

A reusable bag replaces hundreds of plastic bags. Plastic is often only used once and then ends up in landfills or, worse, in nature. Reusable bags are made to last time after time. This way you reduce raw material consumption, CO2 emissions and litter. Simple, but effective.

Yes, that's exactly what makes it extra convenient. An eco bag is the perfect base for a sustainable daily routine. Put in your reusable water bottle, lunch box or coffee mug, and you're all set for a plastic-free day. Everything fits together, in terms of style and mission. This is how conscious living suddenly becomes very practical.

Most backpacks in our collection, like those from Urban Proof, are made of high-quality rPET material that has been made water-repellent. This means your stuff will simply stay dry during a typical Dutch rainstorm. Although they are not 100% waterproof (if you were to submerge them in water), they offer more than enough protection for daily use through all kinds of weather.

Yes, almost all of our backpacks, including the Urban Proof backpacks and the anti-theft backpack, are designed with work and study in mind. They feature a special padded laptop compartment. Depending on the model (mostly 20 liters), laptops from 13 to 15.6 inches fit in here. The padded compartment ensures that your laptop does not bump directly against the bottom or other gear.

The anti-theft backpack is designed so that pickpockets don't stand a chance. The zipper of the main compartment is hidden on the back, so no one can open the bag unnoticed while you are carrying it. In addition, the material is often cut-resistant and there are sometimes hidden pockets in the shoulder straps or on the back for your cards and wallet. Ideal for public transportation or crowded cities.

Yes, Urban Proof's panniers feature a user-friendly attachment system with hooks that fits virtually all carriers, including those of electric bicycles (e-bikes). The tubes of e-bike carriers are often a bit thicker (because of the battery), but the hooks are designed to accommodate this or are adjustable. Always make sure that there is enough space between the battery and the tube to attach the hook.
