DELSEY PARIS MAKES THE PLEDGE #THEGREENMOVE

Join the DELSEY PLANET environmentally responsible movement

As part of DELSEY Paris's ongoing improvements, the company made its sustainability objective official in 2019 with 2 key pledges: reducing plastic waste pollution, and supporting responsible tourism. With the support of our staff, customers and business partners, we have successfully brought to fruition some ambitious advances in sustainability.



OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

PLEDGE No. 1: REDUCING PLASTIC WASTE POLLUTION

Reducing & reusing. Extending life & recycling.


ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE MATERIALS IN OUR LUGGAGE

- Since 2013, the composition of some of our products has incorporated 30% recycled materials
- Reduction of 50% in 5 years in manufacturing material volume for our suitcases
- Launch of the EGOA collection, made from R-Pet*.

* R-PET, also known as recycled PET, is a material made from water and drinks bottles gathered from the oceans, that have been washed and crushed. This recycled material plays a part in minimising the greenhouse effect, helps to save energy, and protects the planet from pollution linked to plastic waste. For each suitcase that DELSEY makes using R-PET, up to 23 plastic bottles begin a new life!

PLEDGE No. 2: SUPPORTING FAIR TRAVEL, POSITIVE IMPACT TRIPS

Co-financing & promoting.


Together with ULULE.COM, the community-backed incubator for positive impact projects, we support those striving for fair travel. To help you make your adventure travel wishes and dreams more sustainable, we have decided to support those that make it easier to access a greener kind of tourism. We share their vision, their journey and their great ideas.

GUIDING COMMITTED TRAVELLERS

To mark the beginning of our partnership with ULULE, we have chosen to support and co-finance the very first world travel guide to specialise in sustainable, community-friendly, ecological volunteer-based travel. It's a guide book that's packed with sustainable solutions and pledges, ideal for every eco-traveller. Thanks to our joint resource mobilisation, almost 10,000 euros has been raised to bring to fruition this labour of love.

This creation will be available as a paper book and in digital format (epub and pdf), and in it you will find thousands of handy pieces of information for alternative travel, meaning that everyone can play their part and contribute to changing the world and changing what it means to travel.


EXPECTED PUBLICATION: DECEMBER 2019 You will very soon see the link right here to order it.
