Anaheim, Calif. – April 22, 2025 – Targus®, the number one third-party docking station and laptop bag brand in the US1 and a leader in laptop cases and mobile computing accessories, today announced that it has now recycled 37 million plastic bottles to date with 4.7 million water bottles in the past year alone by turning them into post-consumer recycled materials that are used in more than 60 products, including its laptop cases, tech accessories, and docking stations. Additionally, the company has achieved its goal of making 95% of its packaging fully recyclable while continuing to improve its global sustainability performance ratings with EcoVadis, Project Gigaton™, and THESIS.
“At Targus, we’re committed to addressing the urgent global crisis by reducing our environmental footprint across our business with greater accountability from our product development and innovation, to manufacturing and supply chain practices,” says Targus’ Andrew Corkill, Global Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce. “Through these efforts, we are continually making strides toward our ultimate goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
In 2008, Targus began incorporating recycled materials into its EcoSmart® laptop bags by turning plastic water bottles into fabric. Since then, the company has evolved this approach by introducing recycled ocean-bound plastic to its laptop cases, as well as post-consumer recycled plastic to its tech accessories. For example, its award-winning ErgoFlip™ EcoSmart™ Mouse and Sustainable Energy Harvesting EcoSmart Keyboard comprise 85 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, operate on ultra-low powered Bluetooth®, and come in recycled packaging. Just in the past year, the company has launched 17 new EcoSmart products, such as its latest GeoLite™ EcoSmart Collection, Avila™ laptop bags for women, and EcoSmart keyboard/mouse bundles.
