Recycled Brazilian Truck Tarp Hats
Crafted from tarps that once covered the beds of cross-country cargo trucks, this fabric has endured every kind of rain, heat, and wind. Since these tarps gets replaced often, one company, The Real Deal, found a way to re-purpose this stylish fabric and keep it out of the waste stream. Sporting a rugged, tree-hugging, “broken in” look makes each hat unique and eco-friendly. The Real Deal has recently branched out into making messenger bags, totes, duffle bags, purses and backpacks in this same durable earth friendly fabric.
Hats are $29.99 at The Real Deal
$49.95 at The Real Deal
$69.95 for the messenger bag at The Real Deal

What a great way to repurpose an otherwise unwanted material. Turning waste into an asset is truly ‘cradle-to-cradle’ thinking!
