Deya is a brand from Taiwan, additionally, this brand is environmentally friendly. They want to help the environment. There is a lot of waste in our ocean, and even if people salvage trash they do not know the correct way to clean it. It will still become a garbage waste on the land and hurt the environment. However, the company Deya knew the way to turn ocean waste into a backpack. Not only this is a great idea but also a way to clean the ocean, restoring the ocean back to the way it was. Humans are the reason that the ocean is polluted, the factories we built release toxic liquids, and plastic bottles we use drift into the ocean. People want to save the ocean more. Deya removes the garbage from the ocean, making it become a daily supply that everyone uses constantly. Backpacks and handbags are items people always use. For example, a backpack that students use for school, a bag that employees use for work, etc. Deya develops new products, and their products help decrease marine pollution’s severity. Furthermore, reducing pollution is everyone’s responsibility. Therefore, people have to clean the beach more and take away the plastic bottles or trash from the ocean. 

The strengths and weaknesses of the Deya backpack

According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, “More than 14 million tons of plastic enter the ocean each year.” The enormous quantity of trash and junk jeopardizes the delicate balance of ocean habitats and poses a danger to marine ecosystems. This trash has continued to give marine irreversible damage. Therefore, people should focus more on this issue. Plastic pollution has a grave negative effect on marine life; each year, more than a million marine animals—including fish, turtles, sharks, mammals, and birds—die from plastic-related causes. Deya, a pioneering company, had contributed and taken action to minimize its negative impacts. According to the website, “Over 1 million marine animals (including mammals, fish, sharks, turtles, and birds) are killed each year due to plastic debris in the ocean”. Deya has created ground-breaking strategies to solve ocean pollution and promote environmentally friendly behaviors at the same time. Deya was inspired to take action after seeing firsthand the upsetting sight of sea turtles and other marine life entangled in plastic debris, recognizing how important it is to protect the ocean and its inhabitants*. Through the recycling of marine garbage, Deya not only contributes to ocean cleanliness but also encourages environmentally responsible consumption. Therefore, Deya used marine waste marine to as the main material to make. Salvage marine waste isn’t an easy thing. It needs a lot of money and time. Deya is unwavering in its commitment to lessening environmental deterioration and cutting carbon emissions, even in the face of this difficult undertaking. Deya's eco-friendly backpacks contribute to the larger objective of promoting sustainability and battling climate change by literally reducing carbon emissions by 0.8 kg each unit. Even though Deya has lots of strength in contributing to marine waste, yet, it also has some disadvantages and limitations. Deya wants to reduce pollution of the global environment and benefit the marine ecosystem and the environment, this might leads to the issue of spending too much time and energy on popular trends in modern society. This makes it unable to catch customer perspective problems, which is the reason why Deya is not a famous brand in the world market. These bags can help Earth for a large positive impact, further helping the Earth's environment balance natural ecosystems, achieving the goal of sustainability. 

Deya's ​Eco-friendly Backpack

When the eco-friendly backpack made its debut, Deya emphasized both the process and outcome of the backpack, they ensured that before every backpack was published and sold, each backpack had experienced an extensive period of measuring and development to be ready for publishing. The first step in creating a practical and environmentally friendly backpack is to choose the most suitable material for the product. During the interview, Miss Huang mentioned that “Actually, we used to only work with ordinary terrestrial PET bottles. However, due to the effective recycling practices in Taiwan is well done currently, we have decided to take recyclable waste and collect it directly for production.” This is why they ultimately chose not to exclusively use land-based PET bottles as the main material but instead chose ocean trash. They hope that they can help and contribute to the marine environment. Using the device to salvage the waste from the marine. It also needs to classify the wastes to figure out the useful parts.  Plastic bottles are the most mainly materials. After some cleaning and filtering. Break up the waste that has already been cleaned, then they will form the plastic particles. Last, let those plastic particles become silk, then make it to be cloth. After those steps, it becomes a recycling backpack after designing. This can help the environment and marine organisms. However, the disadvantage is that this will cost a lot of money and time. Moreover, the marine waste that is salvaged may not be exploitable, but to save the ocean. This is worth it.
