Ucon Acrobatics

Ucon Acrobatics is a Berlin brand that designs minimalist backpacks, belt bags, weekenders and other bags for city life. Its product lines include the Air, Moss and Lotus Infinity series. The brand makes many of its products from textile waste, which is turned back into fibre and yarn through mechanical or chemical recycling. Its products are designed with few components, as mono-material as possible and with PFAS-free coatings, so they can be recycled at the end of their life. Some backpacks are made of up to 96% recycled textiles by weight. The company is a certified B Corp, works with PETA and funds the planting of a tree for every order. Good On You rates Ucon Acrobatics Great overall. It scores the brand Great for planet and animals and It's a Start for people. Good On You credits the brand's circular design, dope dyeing and recyclable packaging, and lists it as vegan through PETA. It also says there is no evidence of living wages across most of the supply chain.
