The Repurpose Schoolbag is made from recycled plastic shopping bags and includes a solar charger. This bag was specifically made for school children in Africa when student, now CEO, Thato Kgatlhanye saw all the children walking to school carrying their books in plastic bags. The backpacks are made 100% from plastic shopping bags. They include a small solar panel that charges while the kids are walking to and from school. These solar panels charge a light that can be used for school work and homework because many of the classrooms and homes do not have electricity.
