How Samsonite Turns Travel Into a More Sustainable Journey

Here is how Samsonite continues its sustainability journey beyond its Luggage Trade-In Programme.

Samsonite has long been trusted for luggage that endures countless journeys, but its focus now stretches beyond durability. The label proves that innovation and responsibility belong together as it weaves eco-conscious efforts into the way it works. Even after the Luggage Trade-In Programme has ended, Samsonite continues to push forward with initiatives that reduce waste, support communities, and protect nature. Below, we explore how this commitment extends even further.

 

GIVING BACK TO NATURE

The Samsonite Luggage Trade-In programme extended its impact through conservation by pledging RM10 to WWF-Malaysia for every luggage traded in. This pledge raised a total of RM62,810 and the funds will support efforts to protect Malaysia’s forests, rivers and wildlife. Each customer’s action contributed to a wider cause that turned small steps into meaningful environmental change.

 

WASTE WITH SECOND ACT

Some of the collected parts were transformed into limited-edition coasters made entirely from recycled plastic with the support of local sustainability advocates. Available from 15 August 2025, these keepsakes turn discarded materials into functional design pieces with a story to tell. Customers who joined the programme may redeem theirs by presenting a receipt at selected Samsonite stores. Those who skipped the trade-in still get to be part of the movement. Every purchase at participating outlets comes with a coaster that extends the journey further.

 

COLLABORATION THAT COUNTS

Samsonite joined hands with Fuze Ecoteer to ensure the campaign created impact beyond collection points. This partnership combined the brand’s global reach with local expertise, giving the initiative depth and authenticity. Together, they extended the impact of the campaign into communities where change matters most.
