Hey!
This topic is just as important to us as your health and well-being. That's why we always ask ourselves the following question when making important decisions: What does this mean for our sustainability strategy ? Can we do better in terms of sustainability?
The quality of the Neos is central to this. The information that our material can be recycled is nice, but it's not enough for us. Above all, our product should be durable and not end up in the bin after two years.
We have decided to be transparent about sustainability right from the start and will post regular updates here.
We have selected producers who have also put sustainability and quality at the top of their agenda:
Our producer for the core material works exclusively with solar energy and does not use petroleum in production. The fact that this special material is extremely durable was also behind the decision to use this manufacturer.
Our processing company is based in Germany and is ISO-certified; our partner obtains its energy from its own solar panels. Quality is a top priority for this partner.
Our textile producer also uses solar energy and collects rainwater for production. In addition, the company meets various standards such as GOTS, Oekotex and others.
Our material:
Quality beats price. The special base material is not conventional neoprene, even if it looks like it. This material is extremely elastic and extremely durable. Yes, it is more expensive than similar materials, but we have made a conscious decision in favor of sustainability, quality and durability.
There is currently no producer in the EU for our "core material", which is why we import the raw material - but the majority of the value creation takes place in Germany.
What are our plans for the coming months:
Staying close to the topic of "materials", we are already thinking about what the next Neo-generation could look like.
In order to make our activities measurable, we will calculate our CO2 footprint and then decide on the next steps.
Questions or comments? We look forward to your feedback.
Keep moving!
