Getting the best ideas by rethinking
Our world has changed. Children nowadays take to the streets to demand their future. Sustainability is an omnipresent topic among end consumers wherever you look. More accountability, more sustainability – this is a challenge that FARE is also responding to. We question things, try things out and use these insights to develop solutions. With renewable raw materials such as wood and bamboo, with the use of recycled plastics or the use of a revolutionary dyeing process for our waterSAVE® cover material. Always with the aim of decreasing CO2 and preserving resources.
Completely “green” umbrellas
When it comes to sustainability, plastic is probably not the first thing you think of. This material can also be used in an ecologically sensible way. Our ÖkoBrella umbrellas are the best example: the yarn for their STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified covers is made of recycled plastics. Each ÖkoBrella model is supplied in packaging made of compostable film, provided with a hangtag made of recycled paper and a jute cord.
The FARE ÖkoBrella family has expanded
Since the launch of the first model in 2011, the ÖkoBrella family has grown to include seven members: from inexpensive entry-level models, to mini umbrellas with auto open/close function, to a mini umbrella and shopping bag in one. This makes ÖkoBrella products perfect for sustainable communication in all sectors and for every budget.
Ingenious down to the very last detail
Finishing options for the ÖkoBrella models are extremely varied. The umbrellas not only have an advertising option on the panel, the sleeve or the shopping bag ( in the case of article 9159). The handle can also be equipped with a wooden laser sticker – matching the product – and the hangtag made of recycled paper can also be customised. In other words, the end consumer gets a product that is all from one mould.

„I have already learned a lot at school about the environment and how we can protect it. About how to avoid waste and how to use less plastic packaging. And also how plastic can be recycled. My school bag is made of recycled plastics. So I think it’s really cool that my new umbrella is too.“

„I love these new packaging-free shops. They remind me a bit of the time when we still had those little corner shops. You have the opportunity to talk to people personally about things that matter, because you have one thing in common: Environmental awareness. Only buy as much food as you need and don’t throw away so much. Buy regional products and avoid long transport routes. And above all, no plastic packaging. That’s where ÖkoBrella Shopping comes in handy: in no time at all, the umbrella bag turns into a shopping bag in which I can safely transport my groceries without any additional packaging.“

„A few years ago, sustainable products were considered ‘eco’. Most of the time, the design, the colours and/or the functionality were not very high-end. And the products were still expensive. That would not have suited me. For me, the fact that sustainably produced products today combine quality, design and sustainability is true added value. And the price-performance ratio is also perfect. That’s where I like to spend a bit more money and set an example.“
