In case you haven’t noticed, sustainability is big right now. Why? Look around you. Forests are burning, ice caps are melting, bees are in decline and some world leaders (looking at you, Mr Trump) refuse to acknowledge that climate change is even a “thing”.

As the world changes, the way we travel does too. More and more pressure is being put on the flying industry to change its ways.

Whether it be designing new planes that use less fuel, charging for on-board meals, or simply just educating travellers to be more eco-savvy, environmental warnings are beginning to have an impact.

With consumers becoming more eco-conscious, smaller businesses have tapped into the trend.

One of them is Phoenx, a London start-up which has created a new suitcase that is 100% sustainable.

The shell, which comes in a variety of colours, is made from 100% recycled plastic and the lining has been crafted out of recycled fishing lines, fabric scraps and old unloved carpets that were once destined for landfill.

In a nutshell, the stylish cases transform waste into an ethical and durable new form.

‘Phoenx is not just about the present but is made to accompany you in your future adventures,’ says Francesco Salom, Co-Founder & CEO.

‘When you feel it is time to renew it, you can send it back to us and choose between having it restyled by our creative design team.’

‘It’s a new level of commitment and a rethinking of the duty makers owe consumers,’ Salom continued .

This renewal process is owning to the suitcase’s modular lego-like construction. Everything falls into place like a flat-pack from Ikea, which means the suitcase components can easily be removed, repaired or replaced with the use of a single tool. Goodbye warranty.

Other nifty features to shout about include an easy to adjust divider – so nothing moves whilst you are up in the air – a vacuum-sealed laundry bag and an ultra-thin removable backpack.

Though not currently available to buy, the company is generating buzz on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

Cheers to sustainable carry on.
