Osprey: Companion in all the adventures of life

Osprey backpacks are designed to accompany their wearers on all of life's adventures. They help keep less waste out of landfills. The company's All Mighty Guarantee ensures that backpacks can be repaired wherever possible to extend their life. Through a Second Life programme, Osprey makes used backpacks fit for new adventures. To date, Osprey has prevented over 9,739 kilograms of waste! One of the latest milestones on the path to greater sustainability is the increased use of recycled materials from both consumer and production waste. Today, 95% of products are made with recycled main material and 95% of products have bluesign certified material in the main fabric. In addition, as of 2022, Osprey will no longer use harmful PFC/PFAS finishes in the DWR treatment of its main fabrics. Osprey is also committed to environmental protection and is a member of the EOCA organisation.
