Greentom was founded in 2013 and stands for ‘Green Tomorrow’. It was built on the idea that the most sustainable thing to do is to stop using natural resources and use existing waste as a raw material to create beautiful products. By giving plastic waste a new life and empowering people to choose sustainable alternatives for everyday products, Greentom wants to leave a better world for future generations. With its first product; the Greentom stroller, they show how Dutch Design, Product Excellence and Sustainability can go hand in hand. More than 85% of the Greentom stroller is made of high-quality recycled plastic. The frame consists of only 34 unique components and is made from post-consumer plastic waste such as yoghurt cups and packaging material. The fabric is made from used drinking bottles. It can be assembled anywhere in the world within 5 minutes and is certified in accordance with the applicable safety requirements and quality standards. The Greentom stroller has also been designed in a way that its components can easily be exchanged. This allows for circular solutions such as repairs,refurbishment and leasing. Finally, at the end of its lifecycle,the stroller parts can be disassembled and recycled accordingly. This is how Greentom contributes to a circular economy.
