At Geometrical, sustainability is a guiding principle that influences our decisions. We take sustainability into account in our design, product function and business model, even at the expense of profits, believing that sustainability is a long-term investment in the business. We equally emphasize the economic, as well as the environmental and social aspects, because we believe they go hand in hand to achieve long-lasting change. We are only at the beginning of this journey and recognize that we still have a long way to go. That being said, we are more determined and driven to embark on this new journey. We believe that integrating the notion of sustainability is not a destination in itself, but rather a path to continuous improvement.
WHAT IS ALREADY SUSTAINABLE ABOUT THE POCKET TRIPOD?
Minimal Material
One of the benefits of making an ultra-light and compact product like the Pocket Tripod® is that it requires very little material to produce. Furthermore, we’re always optimizing our production to reduce waste and rely more on renewable sources of power.
Future-Proof Design
Pocket Tripod® has been designed to remain useful throughout multiple iPhone upgrades. (As opposed to needing a new one each year).We are against planned obsolescence, and we strive to make products that are durable and reusable. We prioritize reducing and reusing instead of adding to landfills and recycling plants.
Functional Packaging
Keeping with our design philosophy of reusability, we’ve designed our packaging to function as an organizing case for the included components of the Pocket Tripod®, instead of making a one-time-use box that may or may not get recycled. Users are encouraged to keep the box for storing the included parts.
Biodegradable Materials
For add-ons or replacement parts which require one-time-use packaging, we use biodegradable pulp materials so to have the smallest impact on the environment.In fact, it’s made of the same material as food-grade takeaway boxes which can be recovered through composting, even if doesn’t get recycled.
