Eagles Nest Outfitters, creators of packable camping hammocks and other outdoor accessories, has teamed up with Unifi, Inc.’s Repreve® recycled fiber brand to launch the Eno Billow™ air lounge, the only inflatable lounger made with recycled plastic water bottles.
Repreve collaborates with various brands to help make their products better for the environment. Each Billow Air Lounge is made with Repreve, using 16 plastic water bottles.
Key features of the lounger include triple-stitched nylon and dual-layer construction for enhanced durability. The Billow Air Lounge is portable and intelligently constructed; it comes with a custom carrying case and stakes, and when not in use, packs to a conveniently small size of less than 30 inches long. When inflated, the lounger is comfortably sized at nearly 7 feet long.
Repreve is used in a variety of auto, outdoor, home and apparel products by some of the world’s most recognized brands, including The North Face, Volcom, Haggar and more. Since the introduction of Repreve, Unifi has recycled and transformed more than four billion plastic bottles into Repreve-based products.
