In
an effort to ensure a better environment, UPPAbaby is devoted to
developing products that are eco-friendly and safe for your
children. It is in this spirit that we are proud to introduce
our new, eco-inspired Organic Bassinet. The carrier is fully
lined with a blend of cotton and soybean fiber, so every inch of
material that touches your baby’s sensitive skin is a wholesome,
hygienic alternative to synthetic fabrics. Aside from being
eco-friendly, soybean fiber boasts many other properties that are
beneficial to the safety and comfort of your baby:
- Dry and Comfortable: Same
moisture absorption as cotton with superior moisture
transmission, keeping your baby warm and dry.
- Durable and Warm: Soybean fiber
has a stronger tensile strength than wool and similar warmth
retention.
- Cashmere Feel:
Soft and light, it has the feel of cashmere but its smoother -
it has been touted as the "vegetable cashmere!"
- Anti-Bacterial: Soybean protein
fiber possesses many amino acids necessary to the human body.
It activates the collagen protein in the skin and contains
anti-bacterial agents making it a true sanitarian fiber.
UPPAbaby,
is constantly thinking about how to make a positive impact on
the environment. Here are some of the things they now do:
- Recycle materials in old and used
strollers.
- Donate functional but not
"A-grade" strollers to charity.
- Operate a warehouse on each coast,
helping to reduce truck delivery emissions.
- Allow "work at home"
opportunities for moms and heavy commuters.
- Located in a primarily non-climate
controlled, historical factory building with window AC units
that we use sparingly during only the hottest of summer days.
- Molly, our Vice President of Sales,
single-handedly negotiated a cardboard recycling program for
the entire office building-- 100,000 sq. ft.!
- Encourage the use of 4-cylinder or
hybrid vehicles for our employees (even Bob at 6'-3"
drives one).
- Partner with eco-friendly retailers to
distribute UPPAbaby products.
