New Rubber for your Laptop

When people think of green – or interesting – products, they rarely think of laptop bags, but one company has chosen to fly in the face of this general perception.

Environmentally aware bag manufacturer Tread has produced a range of laptop bags that are tailored from recycled Columbian truck tyres. The bags are lightweight and very rugged, a reflection upon their ancestry, and provide a unique alternative to adding to the world’s growing stockpile of waste tyres.

The bags feature a stylish contemporary design and are of a high quality. One point that must be noted, however, is that the aroma of tyre rubber is retained in the product’s new incarnation, so this is an item recommended only to those who appreciate a fragrant automotive bouquet.

Tread Laptop bags can be purchased directly through solio.com and retail for approximately £60 to 80. Cases for the iPod range are also available.
