Check out the newest eco-chic line of camera bags, designed for the digital age and made with more than 95% recycled materials.

Lowepro, creator of innovative carrying solutions for the imaging world, announces the launch of Terraclime multi-purpose digital bags. More than 95% of Terraclime’s materials are recycled, making it Lowepro’s greenest series to date.

Addressing the concerns of eco-conscious, fashion-savvy consumers, Terraclime provides durable, soft-sided protection for a variety of cameras and digital gear—from pouches that hold ultra-compact point-and-shoot models, lenses, GPS units, iPods® and smartphones, to the largest shoulder bag model that carries a DSLR with attached lens.

All bags in the series are constructed of 100% post-consumer, recycled Cyclepet® exterior fabric, using the equivalent of 2½ bottles in the smallest model to 22 bottles in the largest while conserving landfill, energy and crude and refined oil. The spacer mesh, providing a lean yet sturdy layer of protection, is 60% recycled PET. Terraclime’s hardware (including hook closures and zippers) is comprised of plastic regrind, recycled and repurposed industrial trimmings saved from the factory floor.

Adding to the eco-friendly construction is a targeted cause: a portion of the proceeds of each Terraclime will go directly to Polar Bears International (PBI) to support their efforts to save polar bear habitats from the impact of climate change.

“The Terraclime is a continuation of our efforts to preserve the environment while delivering solutions to consumers who need protection for their cameras and digital gear,” said Nicole Mummenhoff, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, Lowepro. We’re confident that this series will be an exciting and versatile addition to our growing family of ‘green’ products,” she added.

Terraclime is available in four models—the 10, 30 and 50 pouches, and the 100 shoulder bag. Each features a single compartment with additional pockets for memory cards, personal items or accessories. The 100 model includes zippered interior pocket and a removable Cyclepet® wrap that envelops a camera and provides an additional layer of protection. All models come with adjustable shoulder straps and can be worn over the shoulder or across the body (10, 30 and 50 include belt loops and removable straps).

Designed for the photographer or digital accessory user who wants carrying solutions to be practical, fashionable and thoughtful inside and out, the Terraclime series delivers with style and substance.
