As part of our sustainability strategy, we introduced the revolutionary waterSAVE® dyeing process in 2020: The yarn, which is made from recycled plastics, is dyed all the way through during the production process. This has advantages for the environment compared to the conventional process, in which the yarn is first produced and then dyed in a further step. WATERSAVE® IS COLOURFUL! While initially only black umbrellas could be fitted with this sustainable cover in 2021, additional colours and many models have been added since 2022. For example, our popular ÖkoBrella family has been converted to waterSAVE® cover material. wS wS wS Natural white Red Lime wS wS wS Navy Grey Black . d e c u d o r p e b n a c s a l l , e r b m u 0 0 0 0 5 3 d n u o r a h c h w m o r f , c i r b a f f o ² i m 0 0 0 0 0 3 , d n u o r a g n i s s e c o r p r o f r e t a w f o s e r t i l n o i l l i i m 2 f o s g n v a s r e t a w n o d e s a b d e t a u c a C * l l INFO EVERY DROP COUNTS AND THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: Plastic waste is collected, cleaned ... ... and processed into granulate.

SUSTAINABLE HANDLES MADE OF RECYCLED ABS – ECO-FRIENDLY AND HIGH-QUALITY Recycled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (rABS) consists of disposed ABS products that are processed into new high-quality products – recycling in top form. rABS retains the strength, durability and impact resistance of the original material, while significantly reducing the carbon footprint by giving the raw material a second life. The aesthetic appearance can be seen, for example, in the handles of our new Windfighter® models. waterSAVE® / rABS 7
