Why not treat yourself while helping save the world with an item from our Eco-Friendly Luggage range? At Luggage Superstore, we take pride in the steps we make to tackle global warming and promote ecological products.

We offer a variety of suitcases, holdalls, backpacks, and laptop bags made from recycled materials. Discover what environmentally friendly luggage looks like and why choosing green luggage makes a difference (and yes, it doesn’t have to be green in colour!). All items in our environmentally friendly luggage collections undergo the same rigorous quality testing as non-recycled products and come with a manufacturer’s guarantee. With quality standards maintained, why not choose the greener option? It’s a smart investment for both your travels and the planet.

Sustainable luggage comes in two main categories: hard and soft-sided. hard-shell suitcases are made from materials such as recycled polypropylene, ABS, polycarbonate, or metal. Soft-sided luggage, like our wheeled duffles and duffle bags, use durable soft materials that are equally sustainable.

Hard-side sustainable suitcases

All hard-shell eco-friendly luggage comes in the form of suitcases. Carried duffle bags would be too heavy, and wheeled holdalls would lose their functionality.

Take the Samsonite Magnum Eco for example: made from at least 70% recycled post-consumer waste it features a three-point locking system, TSA locks, double spinner wheels, and a patented inner lining called Recylex™ made from recycled bottles. For the 81cm extra-large case, around 200 yoghurt pots have been used. The Samsonite Magnum Eco combines Samsonite’s trusted suitcase design with a stronger focus on sustainability. Built for reliable travel, it features a three-point locking system with an integrated TSA lock for added security, along with double spinner wheels that allow smooth, easy movement in any direction.

A key highlight of the Magnum Eco is its eco-conscious construction. The outer shell is made from at least 70% recycled polypropylene, helping to give new life to plastic waste. Inside, the lining uses Recyclex™ fabric, a material developed by Samsonite and made from recycled PET bottles. With durable construction, practical travel features and more sustainable materials, the Magnum Eco offers a modern suitcase option that balances performance with environmental responsibility.

So, that covers hard shell environmentally conscious luggage, but what about soft shell’s? There is a lot greater choice of products available that fall into the soft material outer categories. In the below section, we’ll look at soft side sustainable luggage

Soft-side sustainable luggage

Soft-sided recycled luggage includes wheeled holdalls, duffle bags, and suitcases from top brands like American Tourister, Delsey and Eastpak. Materials like Recylex™ turn recycled plastic bottles into soft, durable textiles used in luggage and bags. Bottles are sorted, sterilised, shredded into flakes, and melted into fibres that mimic polyester, soft, breathable, and long-lasting. The American Tourister Urban Track utilises this type of material to create a product that is lightweight, durable and is more sustainable. 

A key highlight of the Urban Track range is its use of recycled PET materials. Both the outer fabric and interior lining are made entirely from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, helping to transform everyday waste into durable travel products. Depending on the size and style, each bag can repurpose the equivalent of up to around 42 recycled 500ml plastic bottles, giving discarded plastics a useful second life.

As more brands adopt sustainable materials and eco-conscious production methods, it has never been easier to make a greener choice when buying luggage. Whether you prefer the strength of a hard-shell suitcase or the flexibility of a soft-sided travel bag, there are now plenty of environmentally friendly options available.

At Luggage Superstore, we’re proud to offer a growing range of sustainable luggage designed to help travellers reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing quality, durability or style.

So next time you’re preparing for a trip, why not make the more responsible choice? By selecting luggage made from recycled materials, you’re not only investing in reliable travel gear, you’re also helping take a small step towards protecting the planet for future adventures.
