SUSTAINABILITY IN EVERY STEP OF PRODUCTION



FROM BUILDING DESIGN TO
FINAL PRODUCTION

Manufacturing is an intensive and expensive process that puts a great strain on the world’s resources, including labor, and power.
That is why we designed our process to be as efficient as possible while reducing reliance on non-renewable assets.

MATERIALS

We recycle 300 metric tons of plastic waste monthly and use it for our plastic products. We offer high quality wood from local sources. We adhere to REACH regulations in every step of production and use recycled or renewable packaging for shipping purposes.

TRANSPARENT, AUDITABLE SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

SINCE 2010

Our plastic back requirements are largely met through recycled polypropylene flakes. We use recycled plastics at our plastic block manufacturing facility. This process ensures that post-consumer plastics are put to new uses in foam or co-injected brush blocks.

Our synthetic filament requirements are met through PET bottles obtained from municipal garbage dump yards. These bottles are then washed at our state-of-the-art washing plants and the fiber is extruded using modern European technology.
