Transparency 2.0
This product is a result of continuous research and innovation. Kartell pioneered transparency in design and has now evolved to create both best-selling items and new concepts using a green version of polycarbonate under the "Kartell loves the planet" initiative. This material is derived from a renewable feedstock within the pulp and paper industry during synthesis. It holds ISCC* certification, facilitating the shift to a circular economy by ensuring traceability across the supply chain. This allows for sourcing sustainable products from certified holders. Polycarbonate 2.0 maintains the structural and mechanical attributes of fossil feedstock, offering design freedom and aesthetics without constraints.
