Sustainability

At Swae, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the world we love to explore. That’s why sustainability is embedded in every step of our processes. From eco-friendly materials to ethical manufacturing and mindful packaging, we're focussed on making travel smarter, cleaner, and kinder to the planet. Here’s how we’re making a difference.

Sustainable materials

We thoughtfully select eco-friendly materials that don’t compromise on durability or style. Our travel backpacks and packing cubes are crafted from high-quality recycled nylon and polyester, sourced from post-consumer waste like ocean-bound plastic bottles. By giving new life to these materials, we help cut down waste and shrink our carbon footprint.

Ethical manufacturing

We partner exclusively with certified ethical manufacturers who prioritise fair labour practices, safe working conditions, and environmental responsibility, ensuring that the people behind your products are treated with respect and paid fairly.

Mindful packaging 

We’ve stripped our packaging down to the essentials, using recyclable and biodegradable materials wherever possible. Designed to protect your Swae products while keeping waste to a minimum, we’re also committed to phasing out single-use plastics across all stages of our supply chain. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.

Durability & Longevity

We design Swae products to last. Everything we make is rigorously tested for durability, ensuring it can handle years of adventure. Plus, our backpacks are covered by our lifetime warranty, because we back ourselves on quality. By creating products that are built to go the distance, we’re helping reduce global consumption and waste.
