Our calculations have proven that raw materials dominate the footprint. In contrast to what most people believe, transport has a very low impact on the result.
Calculations show an immense difference between a wooden parasol and an alumium one. The CO2 footprint of wood is many times lower than aluminium.
Next to wood, the use of recycled materials would influence the footprint drastically. Therefore Brands On offers its customers RPET fabric as well as recycled aluminium. Note here is the uncertain supply of recycled raw material and the lack of suppliers with the Global Recycled Standard, making wood still the most reliable sustainable option.
For the signs, our focus is on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Our goal is to make this part more climate neutral.
