Biodegradable umbrellas for companies that want to combine branding and sustainability
A green innovation that combines sustainability and marketing —
perfect for companies aiming to cut plastic waste and strengthen their ESG profile.
ThehiddenESGgapineverydayproducts
Over 1 billion umbrellas are discarded every year.
Made from plastic, metal and synthetic fabrics, they are almost impossible to recycle and can take up to 400 years to break down.
They quietly undermine corporate ESG efforts on waste, circularity and climate.
- 1+ billion umbrellas discarded annually
- 400 years to decompose
- High economic cost of waste management
- 95% end up as landfill waste
- Significant microplastic pollution
- Lost opportunity for circular design
