Refine: Color with a Conscience
Refine is more than just a process—it’s a sustainable revolution in fabric dyeing. By adding color directly to recycled plastic pellets before they’re spun into yarn, Refine eliminates the need for water-intensive dyeing methods. The result? Bright, vibrant colors that don’t drain the planet.
Why Refine Matters:
- 89% Less Water Used: Every bag helps conserve precious resources.
- 63% Lower CO₂ Emissions: Cleaner air, lighter footprint.
- 60% Less Energy: Because we’re all about reducing dependence on new materials.
From bold gradients to rich solids, Refine proves that sustainability can be stylish. When you choose a ChicoBag made with Refine, you’re making a choice that’s better for the planet—and pretty great for your wardrobe, too.

Our Recycled Materials
Eco-Friendly from the Ground Up
Uncoated Fabric
We’re keeping it simple and sustainable by saying “no thanks” to extra coatings. Our uncoated fabric sheds less microplastic while staying soft, strong, and long-lasting. Uncoated fabric is an eco friendly material chosen for its minimal environmental impact. It’s a small shift that makes a big impact, proving that sometimes, less is truly more.
Recycled Aluminum Carabiner
Tough enough to clip and carry, but light on the planet. Using recycled aluminum helps reduce the need for extracting new raw materials. Our recycled aluminum carabiners help reduce the demand for virgin mining, giving you a durable, functional, and eco-conscious way to keep your bag handy.
Recycled Cording
A better bag starts with better details. The use of recycled PET in cording helps reduce waste and supports a lower environmental footprint.Our recycled cording is strong, durable, and made with post-consumer materials, proving that sustainability is in the little things, too.
Recycled Webbing
Built to last, made from the past. The production process of recycled webbing involves transforming post-consumer materials into durable material for bag straps. Our recycled webbing takes discarded materials and transforms them into sturdy, reliable bag straps—reducing waste while keeping everything secure and comfortable.
Duraflex Hardware
Every buckle and clip should work as hard as you do. The manufacturing process is designed to ensure both strength and sustainability. That’s why we use Duraflex® hardware, known for its durability and strength, so your bag stays reliable for years to come.
Sustainable Bamboo
Strong, fast-growing, and naturally biodegradable—bamboo is the MVP of sustainability. Bamboo is a renewable resource and one of the best materials for eco friendly products. We use responsibly sourced bamboo in our To-Go Ware products for a renewable, long-lasting alternative to plastic utensils..
