FROM TRUCK TILL BAG
aka the production of FREITAG bags
The recycling of used truck tarps into unique, highly functional bags takes place in five highly complex steps at our factory.
STEP 1: TRUCKSPOTTING
It may not be Glencore. But sourcing the raw materials FREITAG needs is still pretty hard-core.
STEP 2: CUTTING UP THE TARPS
Freeing tarps from their incarnation as dirty, bulky truck covers so they can be processed further is no walk in the park.
STEP 3: WASHING
What happens in the basement at the Nœrd has nothing in common with what you do in your laundry room – even though it might look almost the same.
STEP 4: BAG DESIGN
The bag designers ensure that our one-of-a-kind products are not just unique but uniquely beautiful as well.
STEP 5: COMPLETION
The FREITAG factory sews only prototypes and test bags. We entrust the sewing of your FREITAG bag to experienced partners.
