RAW MATERIALS
Promote the integration of eco-responsible raw materials when designing your products!
We call responsible raw materials, raw materials that do not come from threatened ecosystems and that do not present any danger to health.
By adopting this eco-design approach, you participate in reducing the environmental impact of your product throughout its life cycle.

Omnipresent in our lives, plastic is one of the most used raw materials. Even if it has many advantages, its treatment at the end of life remains problematic.
If you are a plastics manufacturer, there are now more natural and less novice alternatives to plastic:
Bioplastic
Recycled plastic
TEXTILE MATERIALS
For an alternative to synthetic fibers, choose natural fibers that are more respectful of the environment:
hemp canvas
Marine leather
GOTS certified fabrics

METAL & CARBON
The reuse of metals makes it possible to preserve natural resources while reducing energy consumption and thus avoiding any risk of pollution due to mining.
It also reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the main cause of climate change.
Indeed, the mining industry produces 35% of CO emissions2 global; steel production accounts for 25%.
Adopt the reuse of metals in order to reduce the carbon footprint of your activity!
