The Grove EcoSmart range of bags contains no PVC, making it less toxic to the environment, Targus says, nor does the metal in the bags contain any nickel. All the plastic used in the bags is recyclable as well, the company says.

"Targus is committed to conserving and preserving the environment. We are dedicated to reducing the negative impact on natural resources and helping to improve the environment for future generations," the company said in a statement.

The new line up consists of the Grove Messenger – a laptop bag with a buckle-down flap, the Grove Top-Loading – designed as a travelling case, with quick access to the laptop and the finally the Grove Sling – a backpack aimed at students with a side-access laptop compartment.
