Recycled garment bags โ crafted from repurposed materials such as PET plastic bottles or upcycled fabrics โ offer a sustainable yet sturdy solution for storing and protecting your clothes. These bags are not only environmentally friendly but also durable and breathable, ensuring your garments stay fresh and wrinkle-free. Depending on their construction, they can be used for a variety of clothing items year-round, which is what I do, even for seasonal storage. While recycled garment bags may be slightly more expensive than their non-recycled counterparts, I believe theyโre a worthwhile investment. Iโve used standard garment bags (often made from materials like polyester), and although they are functional, I find them less eco-friendly and sometimes less durable. Itโs important to note that recycled garment bags are an excellent choice if youโre aiming to reduce your carbon footprint or support sustainable products.

I also delve into what you should be looking for in a quality recycled garment bag, as there are a few considerations to make in terms of material strength, breathability, and design features. Below, the eight best recycled garment bags for all types of clothing, budgets, and storage needs. A note: Iโve included both hanging garment bags and zippered storage bags in my roundup, and while the two are often used interchangeably, they serve slightly different purposes. Typically, a hanging garment bag is used for closet storage, while a zippered bag can be used for travel or long-term storage.
