Sustainability at Its Core: Eliminating Waste and Embracing Imperfections

To purchase Outlet Products please take a look at the individual product pages for availability. In the meantime, here's a bit of the backstory and ethos behind the Outlet Section.

Minimising waste is a way of life

In a world increasingly conscious of environmental impact, sustainability has become more than just a buzzword; it's a way of life. As a brand we aspire to be known for our commitment to eco-friendliness and innovation. We are taking this ethos to heart by redefining the concept of perfection. We are committed to exploring how to eliminate waste and celebrate minor defects while offering you eco-friendly, functional, and stylish solutions.

The Imperfections That Matter

We feel that perfection can sometimes be overrated. In the pursuit of creating the finest products, minor defects can occur – a tiny blemish here or a slight irregularity there. Rather than discarding these mats as waste, we embrace these imperfections as a testament to our commitment to sustainability.

Vier Augen Prinzip at its best

Our products are manufactured and prepared for shipping in South Korea. The textile is relatively newly patented, so the product development, production and quality standards are being developed and fine tuned together in tandem.

When the shipment arrives in Switzerland they are unpacked and there is a round of quality control carried out on each mat by our diligent team at the Stiftung Züriwerk.  In accordance with swiss attention to detail and the high quality standards we have come to expect, any minor flaw is identified and catalogued. True vier Augen Prinzip at its best! The team runs each decision by me and ensures that nothing slips though the net. That's how the Outlet section came to be. With each subsequent delivery the team in Korea has really outdone themselves, so the Outlet portion is ever diminishing, which is a true testament to their commitment. And I must add, that I'm incredibly grateful to work with such engaged production partners.

These minor defects, often barely noticeable, don't compromise the functionality of the mats. In fact, they add character and uniqueness to each piece. These 'imperfections' tell a story – a story of sustainable manufacturing and a dedication to reducing waste.

We cannot possibly document each individual defect, but these photos show demonstrate what counts for us as a flaw, to give you a sense of the scale of the issue.

Review your purchase

Outlet mats are not covered by the 2 year performance guarantee. With this in mind, you will have the standard 60 days to inspect your mat and return it unused for a full refund. In the case of outlet mat returns, the return shipping cost is at the buyer's expense.

Reducing Environmental Footprint

By salvaging mats with minor defects, we significantly reduce our environmental footprint. Instead of sending these mats to landfill, we gives them a new lease on life. This process aligns with the principles of a circular economy, where waste is minimized, and resources are maximized.
