With the new variant, the RTE Boulder 133+, we have been able to maintain stability and quality despite its size, while achieving an 87% renewable content. No animal materials, plasticizers or melamine are used in the manufacturing process.
MADE IN GERMANY
The main materials used come from forests in Bavaria and the Black Forest, with everything from planning to production made in Germany. We are establishing a sustainable supply-chain and production process by keeping things local.

What’s coming next?
The Return to Earth series is our first step towards sustainable production and we are working actively on expanding this series in the near future as well as improving our operations in general. We are aware that becoming fully sustainable is a long road, which we are confidently committed to taking. Environmentally-conscious production is a topic we consider carefully daily, and we are actively promoting this in a number of ways, for example, by demanding a fair work environment at our partner facilities, as well as by building a new Campus with a green heart to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. But there is more to come!
