100 years with the KAUFMANN bag in hand
At KAUFMANN, we have believed since day one that when you buy quality clothes from us, you should also have the option of using a high-quality carrier bag to take the clothes home.
From black to 'a little greener'
Every year, thousands of customers shop at KAUFMANN and buy a carrier bag to take home. Here we have a shared responsibility to limit the footprint on the environment. We meet this responsibility by designing a carrier bag as sustainably as possible, and by making the bag in a design and quality that makes you want to reuse the bag.
Green is the new Black…
At KAUFMANN, we identify with the colour black - a colour of timeless elegance. But that doesn't mean we don't work to make our business as 'green' as possible.

Today, our carrier bags contain 20% recycled material. We are working every year to reach 100% |
|
The production of our carrier bags uses up to 100 times less water than equivalent canvas bags. |
|
The carrier bag is designed to be durable, water-resistant and in a lightweight material that makes it easy to reuse for years. |
We must reduce the consumption of carrier bags and increase recycling
The best way to protect the environment is to recycle existing carrier bags when you go shopping or on the move. Here are examples of how you can use KAUFMANN carrier bags.
- Take your KAUFMANN bag with you when you shop with us again or in the supermarket.
- Use the KAUFMANN bag for ski boots, training clothes or anything else you need to take on the go.
- Pack your beach bag in a KAUFMANN bag or get creative and use it to make an ice bath for cold beer on a hot summer day.
- Pawn collectors love our bags, so why not use an old KAUFMANN bag for pawning too?
- Remember to dispose of your KAUFMANN bag when you no longer want it, so the material can be recycled in the processing plant.
And most importantly: remember to sort your KAUFMANN carrier bag so that the materials can be recycled.
Once your Kaufmann bag has proven its worth, it's not over. The material is 100% recyclable, and all you have to do is put it in the plastic waste bin - and a new product will come out of our bag with minimal waste, as PP keeps its strength when remelted.
We hope you found this material both fun and informative: together we can help each other towards a greener planet.
