Trade in old luggage, help furnish classrooms
Embark on unforgettable journeys in style while giving back to the environment with Samsonite’s annual luggage trade-in campaign. Bring preloved luggage—any brand, size and condition—to select Samsonite stores until June 15 and get up to 35-percent off Niar and Astra models, while stocks last.
Building on last year’s success, materials from the traded-in luggage will be repurposed into sustainable school chairs through a continuing partnership with Envirotech Philippines, a recycling company specializing in producing products from plastic waste. On its first run, over 1,000 pieces of luggage were melted, molded, pressed and assembled into 120 recycled chars, filling five classrooms in Labo Elementary School in Marinduque.
Through this initiative, over four tons of plastic waste were prevented from potentially ending up in landfills and oceans and saved more than 100 trees. The chairs are made to last for more than 15 years and will be useful for generations of students to come.
An ideal choice for all travelers, Astra is Samsonite’s luggage line characterized by its radial grooves and stylish design elements. Astra’s features include a TSA combination lock, expanders for added capacity and a practical interior for flexible packing. It’s available in 55 centimeter, 68 cm and 76 cm sizes and in three colors: graphite, red and blue.
Niar is Samsonite’s dedicated line of spinner suitcases that are versatile and trusty travel companions for the modern urban traveler. With its minimalist aesthetic, Niar combines style, convenience and functionality. Equipped with double wheels, integrated carry handles, a dual-tube trolley puller, compression straps, TSA combination lock and an expander, Niar ensures convenience and reliability throughout every journey. It’s available in 57 cm, 66 cm and 78 cm sizes and comes in graphite and silver colors.
In partnership with World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines, Samsonite will also donate P100 for every trade-in transaction.
