Vulcana Bags from Recycled Tires

Recycled Tire Bags from Vulcana

Vulcana is a sub company or American Eagle who takes tires from landfills in the United States and recycled them. They have a patented recycling process that takes the tire chunks and reforms them to a sheet style rubber. The resulting rubber material is called rubbReTM . The material is water and scratch resistant, easily cleaned with a damp cloth and sturdy enough to be fashioned into backpacks or laptop bags.
