Japanese elementary school children have used traditional box-shaped backpacks for over a century.

The satchels, called “randoseru,” are usually made of leather or synthetic materials. But now recycled materials are increasingly being used, and demand is strong.
The new lineup currently hitting the stores is for children who will start school next year.

Tokyo-based startup Ranaos makes its “randoseru” with polyester recovered from used clothing. It weighs about 980 grams, much lighter than leather satchels.
