DESIGN


OUR PLEDGE

Making more responsible choices for the earth begins with thinking about our long-term footprint, that is why Umbrahas pledged to design for the planet.

This is our commitment to practice sustainable design as we continue to create modern, original, functional, and thoughtful products that are made to last for years of enjoyment.

DESIGNED TO LAST

As a design driven company we understand that a commitment to sustainability begins with our products. Ensuring that our designs express our distinctive character and consistently meet high standards of quality means that customers can continue to use and enjoy our products long-term.

Well-made products are not destined for a landfill and nothing makes us happier than visiting homes and offices where customers continue to use and enjoy our products for a lifetime.

OUR PLEDGE FOR THE CHANGING ENVIRONMENT

The biggest threat and challenge to our world is the changing environment. As a global consumer products company, we are committed to making continuous efforts to reduce waste, improve materials sourcing and cleanup manufacturing processes. As part of this commitment we’ve launched the Design for the PlanetTM program.


Eco Friendly
Our double-leaf icon is used on specific products and their packaging to identify items that are designed and manufactured in a more sustainable way.


More than 55% of our plastic products now contain recycled material. Additional items are continuously in transition. Our goal is to transition 80% of plastic products to contain recycled material.


More than 65% of our wood products are sourced from fast growing replenishable wood species such as Poplar, Paulownia, Bamboo, Eucalyptus, Rubberwood, and FSC certified wood. Our goal is to transition to using renewable sources in 100% of our products.


We have transitioned more than 85% of the surface finishing on our metal products, including 100% of our window hardware line, away from harmful electroplating processes toward eco-friendly painting and powder coating alternatives. In doing so we are contributing 85% less solid and liquid waste to ground water systems.


We have proudly eliminated single use plastic and packing foam from
80% of our packaging by transitioning to recyclable materials. We are always looking for new advancements in packaging technology and design and it is our goal to use recyclable materials in 100% of our packaging

IMPROVED PACKAGING

In 2022 we began transitioning from bleached white corrugate boxes to sustainable kraft corrugate and focused on developing OMNI-style (shippable boxes) for most of our products. In doing so we've eliminated thousands of pounds of single-use plastic and secondary packaging that previously went directly to waste.


Average Annual Waste Reductions






We recognize that there is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to implementing sustainable business practices. Our long-term success depends on the well-being of this earth and we will not stop in our efforts to make it a better place for all of us, including our customers, to live in.

We thank you for your continued support and invite you to join us on this mission.
