Thin recyclable wallet made from recycled materials
A wallet that is 100% recyclable is the Tyvek Wallet. I know I go through a wallet once a year. It goes through abuse every day sitting in the back pocket through all types of conditions. Typically I just throw it away, but this doesn’t have to be so anymore.
The Tyvek wallet is made of 25% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. The eco wallet is made of one single sheet of tear-resistant Tyvek which is the same material express mail envelopes are made from. They are very thin and durable.
The wallets are so thin that they are stealthy in the pocket and you can get them in a variety of prints to look like other materials giving you an added degree of stealth.
You can get yours at www.dynomighty.comand at museum and design stores around the world. Check the video out at their site….
