ORTLIEB PVC Free
The Free collection is a range of waterproof panniers and touring bags made without using PVC. PVC has been considered controversial with regard to ecological and health aspects due to phthalates and other plasticizers added to make the material softer - these softeners accumulate in the environment and among other issues are suspected of causing cancer.
This collection is just the beginning for ORTLIEB as it plans to phase out the use of PVC for other models such as their classic panniers in the years to come.
