Introduction
In Europe, over 67% of households own private gardens (source: Eurostat), and sustainable living is becoming a mainstream choice. An eco-friendly sun umbrella not only provides shade and rain protection but also serves as a starting point for embracing green values. This article outlines 3 key steps to build a low-carbon garden space using XX Brand’s eco-friendly sun umbrellas, while revealing the sustainable technology behind our products.
Step 1: Choose a Truly Eco-Friendly Sun Umbrella
▍Material Revolution: From Ocean Recycled to Plant-Based Fibers
- Canopy: Made from 100% recycled polyester fabric (each umbrella repurposes 12 plastic bottles).
- Frame: Lightweight aluminum alloy (40% lighter than traditional iron, reducing transportation emissions by 22%).
- Coating: Fluorine-free waterproof technology (certified by EU REACH, 0 harmful substance release).
✓ Action Guide
Look for these certifications when selecting an umbrella:
① Bluesign Certification: Global benchmark for eco-friendly textiles.
② OEKO-TEX Standard 100: Ensures materials are harmless to humans.
③ FSC Certification: Guarantees sustainable sourcing of wooden handles.
