Sustainability, manufacturing & transparency

Produced in China,
consciously.

That's right, we actually produce in China. But what does that have to do with sustainability, you ask?

Let's expand a little here. The production of a good product has a lot to do with the manufacturer, their quality and working conditions, right? And although China doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to these aspects, that doesn't mean that every factory in China is bad. On the contrary, if you strive to find the right production partner in China, you will find one - just like us.

When looking for a manufacturer that is in line with our company philosophy, one important point was to make the supply chains as efficient as possible. Given that the majority of the world's stainless steel is already produced in China, it seemed most logical to us to place the production of our stainless steel bottles at the source of the raw material.

In addition, it was important to us to develop a product that could be used by as many people as possible and therefore have the greatest possible impact on the environment. To make this possible, production in the EU was only an option to a limited extent. The high costs associated with stainless steel production in a European country would have been reflected in the sales price of the insulated bottle and would no longer have been affordable.

In the end, it is therefore less about the production location itself, but more about the quality, working conditions and harmonious cooperation with the manufacturer, who in turn can guarantee the affordability of our products for you.

Of course, it is still clear that the goods from China have to travel a long way to Germany - which harms our environment. That's why we try to save as many emissions as possible by using shorter shipping routes to the customer, as little packaging waste as possible and production with solar energy.

We therefore remain of the opinion that production in China can be combined with good quality, high standards and sustainability if you have found the right partner.

Our current influence &
future improvements

Two things are clear to us. Firstly, we know that no one is perfect, no company, no brand and ultimately no person. Secondly, every business activity causes emissions and pollutes our environment. However, we believe that it is about not accepting this situation, but rather looking for possibilities and improvements.

Guided by these principles, we at noma noma want to take responsibility and work step by step towards a more conscious future. To achieve this, we want to holistically approach a more sustainable future with the following 3 pillars.

Better materials

Longer lasting products

Less emissions

And basically we are already doing that. We already use 85% recycled stainless steel for our products and reduce the proportion of plastic components to a minimum. Our products are developed and manufactured in such a way that they can last forever. The use of FSC-certified packaging materials also contributes to this.

The long-term goal of sustainable business must be to reduce emissions as much as possible.

For this reason, we want to make some adjustments not only now, but also in the future and have planned the following improvements, among others:

  • Switch from fossil plastics to organic plastics.
  • Further reduce packaging waste.
  • Switch to more sustainable import routes - especially rail freight.
  • Reduce company trips to rail routes and largely avoid flights.
  • Develop products further for maximum longevity.

That is the amount of disposable plastic bottles you can potentially save yourself from having to buy by purchasing a noma noma stainless steel drinking bottle.
Based on a person who bought a plastic bottle every day before buying a noma noma insulated bottle (and then doesn't buy any more) and an additional minimum lifespan of 5 years for the stainless steel drinking bottle.
