Depending on weather conditions, truck tarpaulins are replaced every 5 to 8 years. Used tarpaulins normally become garbage requiring expensive disposal methods. However, wind- and weather-beaten truck tarps are a valuable raw material for FREITAG.

As part of the next manufacturing stage, the heavy truck tarps are cut into pieces. Unnecessary cords, eyelets and worn material are removed.

The dirty tarps are carefully washed in special XXXL washing machines.

The bag design is traced on using a transparent template.

The correct pattern is then cut out by hand using a cutter.

Tarp pieces, bicycle inner tubes, seat belts and the label are then sewn together.

And voilà – another FREITAG bag is born.

All this is the work that goes into your FREITAG bag.
