Buy bags made from sails
Sails are made from high-quality durable materials that can have a useful second-life after they are retired from boat use. Some companies, like The Sea Monkey Project, are repurposing sails, kites, fishing nets and plastic into sustainable bags and accessories.
A boat changes its sails every six to eight years, producing up to 50 square meters of material waste.
