At Relax, we have always believed that every detail counts, even when it comes to packaging. Recently, we have taken an important step forward in the direction of sustainability, renewing our packaging to make it more eco-friendly. We now use honeycomb cardboard, strong and lightweight, instead of polystyrene. We are proud of this change that demonstrates our commitment to packaging sustainability.
Sustainability and innovation: a winning combination
At Relax, we believe that innovation and sustainability must go hand in hand. Our choice to replace polystyrene with honeycomb cardboard to separate the elements inside our packaging was not taken lightly. Unfortunately, polystyrene is a material that is harmful to the environment, difficult to dispose of and not effectively recyclable. On the contrary, honeycomb cardboard, in addition to being 100% recyclable, offers strength and lightness, while ensuring the protection of our shower enclosures during transport. This change represents a small but significant step forward towards a more sustainable and respectful production chain for our planet.
The new protective film: protection and sustainability
Another innovation we have introduced is the application of a new protective film around the aluminum profiles of our shower enclosures. This film has been designed to ensure that the profiles always arrive in perfect condition, avoiding scratches or damage during transport. Using this film means not only preserving the integrity of the product, but also reducing the need for additional production processes that would be necessary to replace damaged profiles. In this way, material waste and emissions related to additional processing are minimized, further contributing to the sustainability of our packaging and our commitment to a more efficient and environmentally friendly production cycle.
The choice of honeycomb cardboard
The decision to switch to honeycomb cardboard is the result of extensive research and numerous experiments. This material, consisting of an internal structure similar to a beehive, is known for its resistance and its ability to absorb shocks. But it is not just a question of performance. We also chose honeycomb cardboard because it is completely recyclable and biodegradable. This means that, once its protective function has ended, it can be easily disposed of without negatively impacting the environment. This choice not only allows us to reduce our ecological impact, but also sends a clear message: the sustainability of packaging is a non-negotiable priority for Relax.
Our external packaging: the evolving tradition
While honeycomb cardboard is a novelty in our packaging, the cardboard used for the external packaging of our products remains faithful to tradition. This material was chosen for its resistance and its ability to protect our shower enclosures from external agents during transport. However, here too we have introduced an innovative element: a QR code printed on the box. This code is a further demonstration of our commitment to the sustainability of packaging. By scanning it with your smartphone, you can easily access a digital guide that explains step by step how to correctly dispose of each part of the packaging. In this way, we simplify the disposal process and promote correct waste management, encouraging recycling and reducing the amount of materials that end up in landfill.
One step at a time, towards a greener tomorrow
At Relax we are aware that the path to sustainability is made of small steps. Every choice, every innovation, every improvement we introduce is aimed at building a greener future for everyone. Our new packaging is just the beginning of a journey that will continue to guide us in future choices. Every choice is guided by a clear principle: offering high-quality products that respect the environment.
