Earth Day Every Day with Micro Scooters
When a brand cares about the planet as much as we do, it's easy to say it's Earth Day every day! Throughout our scooter's lifecycle, we take proactive measures to care for the environment along the way. Whether it's designing with less waste in mind, creating with recycled materials, or keeping scooters on the sidewalk and out of landfills, we're proud of our impact! Read on to learn more about Micro's sustainability efforts and join us in our care for the planet!
ECO Collection
Based on a desire to take our sustainability efforts to new depths, we introduced the ECO Collection: a line of scooters made using parts of recycled plastic from the maritime industry. Once trawls, nets, and ropes reach the end of their lifecycle, they are often discarded in the ocean, negatively affecting the health of marine life and their ecosystem. Here's where Micro comes in: we work with a recycling agent who collects this end-of-life fishing gear, turns it into "green plastic" where it can be used to create various parts for our ECO scooters. Pretty cool! So, next time you ride on your Mini, Maxi, or Sprite ECO, know that you're making a difference!
We take our footprint even farther with the ECO Collection. Check out Mother Nature's favorite features:
- Using recycled plastic in the ECO Collection reduces our ecological footprint during manufacturing by up to 82%.
- We've minimized packaging for the ECO Collection, using FS-certified paper and degradable materials.
- Micro Mobility donates a portion of sales to '1% for the Planet', supporting global environmental efforts.
- Eco-friendly laser-etched logos and water-based paint minimize additional material waste.
- Like all Micro scooters, the ECO Collection prioritizes quality, performance, and durability, backed by a 2-year limited warranty and free shipping for replacement parts.
Modular Design
We have also focused on innovation in design. Our scooters are designed with a modular approach, allowing for easy repairs and replacement of parts. This not only extends the lifespan of our products but also reduces the amount of waste generated from discarded scooters.
Long Live Fun!
At Micro, we strive to create products that last. Our scooters are built with durability in mind, using high-quality materials and rigorous testing to ensure they can withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, extending their long life! By creating products that stand the test of time, we reduce the need for frequent replacements. Which ultimately decreases the environmental impact of consumer waste and ensures joy rides for years and years!
Still Innovating
As a company, we are constantly looking for ways to improve and innovate in our sustainability efforts. Whether it's through the development of new eco-friendly materials or finding ways to further reduce our carbon footprint, sustainability remains at the forefront of everything we do.
With the scooters in the ECO Collection, along with our ongoing efforts to reduce packaging waste, innovate in design, and create lasting products, we are committed to championing sustainability and leading the way towards a greener, more eco-conscious future for the next generation. Join us in our journey to make a positive impact on the planet with every scoot!
