In 2018, we installed the first photovoltaic panel units on the roof of our company and
in 2021 we increased the number and installed a battery.

This allows us to generate clean energy to power our offices,
internal production and the internal and external lighting of our factory.

Italtrike’s headquarters are located in Veneto, on the slopes of Monte Grappa, a privileged area both from a naturalistic point of view and with consolidated industrial experience. Hence our decision to weave a network of local, experienced and trusted suppliers. Based within a distance of 75 km from our headquarters, they guarantee us a low-emission production system and to safeguard and partner with local excellence.

What is LCA?
It is an objective method of assessing and quantifying the energy and environmental loads and potential impacts associated with a product or service, process or activity throughout its life cycle.”

We made the calculation of our overall LCA together with a spin-off from the University of Siena, so as to be aware of our impact on the environment. This allows us to monitor this index and have a starting point on which to work, define and launch concrete improvement actions to reach our Emission Neutrality target by. per raggiungere il nostro obiettivo di Neutralità Emissiva entro il 2030.

We can provide spare parts (wheels, grips, saddles, pedals, etc.) for the long-term maintenance of our products through our customer service ([email protected]).
Thus we guarantee our customers the possibility of extending the toy’s life, play and fun. When designing each product, we select high quality materials with excellent mechanical/structural performance. These, together with a careful design, ensure product strength and durability. In this way we reduce waste and environmental impact.

Thanks to the collaboration with Zero CO2, we have started a reforestation project in Guatemala from 2021 by planting 1500 fruit trees, which will neutralise 831.000 kg of carbon dioxide over 15 years. This project also supports the local Campesinos by giving them the management of the forest. All planting activity is tracked by a sophisticated geo-localisation system. This is an environmental, but also a social commitment in which we strongly believe. It is part of a broader path focused on sustainable development and education for sustainability, which in 10 years will lead us to be a zero-emission company. Follow the growth of the Italtrike forest in real time!

The selection of materials is another of the focal points in the design of our products.
For this reason, every year we dedicate great effort and curiosity to the research and selection of innovative materials,
increasingly in line with environmental needs and our beliefs.
For years we have replaced the body material of our best seller, the ride-on “la cosa” with an eco-sustainable plastic produced with at least 30% recycled polymers, recycled felt coverings and 100% recyclable aluminum frames. We are excited to discover, test and finally use these new solutions for the production of our toys and to be able to continuously update and improve ourselves.

Throughout the creative and design process, we pay particular attention to solutions
that minimise the environmental impact of the product at all stages of its life, from prototyping, production,
transport, maintenance and final disposal.
The ultimate example of how this is achieved is our “eolo“ line, selected by ADI Design Index in 2019
and then displayed in the ‘Italia Geniale’ pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2021.
The first line of tricycles, scooters and balance bikes designed according to circular economy principles.

“Italtrike Bravo Box” is a 100% recycled and recyclable paper fibre packaging, the tape used is also made of paper with water-based glue. The overall dimensions are reduced to the minimum in order to facilitate transport and to reduce its environmental impact. Thanks to the Italtrike Bravo Box we have reduced single-use plastic in our packaging by 95%. Currently in use on most of our products and soon to be extended to our entire product range. When the child opens his toy, all that is left is recyclable paper to be placed in the recycling bins. An action so easy and yet so important! Why not have the children do it themselves?

Soon we will introduce to each product its own identity card.

Each card will report the technical specifications and details on the environmental impact of the product, along with its degree of recyclability and useful information for the maintenance and disposal of the toy.
