Sustainability
Our commitment to reducing environmental impact
At Hiro we believe that design can and should be sustainable. Our commitment to the environment accompanies us in all phases of the production process, from the choice of materials to shipping to your home.
Materials and the circular life cycle
The high-quality design and use of durable materials ensure that each piece can stand the test of time. This not only reduces the need for frequent replacements, but also contributes to more responsible consumption.
The main material of our products is metal , which is infinitely recyclable without losing quality. Each product can be reused, repainted or disposed of, remelted and transformed into a new product of equal quality and come back to life again .
The wood used in our products is a mixture of at least 90% recycled wood, the remaining 10% comes from virgin processing waste or from FSC certified sustainable forests . This endless recycling cycle helps reduce pollution and conserve natural resources.
See the productsResponsible production
Our sales cycle includes minimum warehouse stock , in some cases zero. We produce practically on-demand , following what the market requires and making it when needed.
A process that opposes the more widespread system of producing large stocks of products to lower prices and placing them on the market in order to dispose of what has already been manufactured, with greater waste of resources and production of waste and refuse.
End consumer accountability
Our philosophy of involving design lovers and end customers in the product selection and manufacturing phases, as well as ensuring a shared design , goes in the direction of building only what is actually needed and not something that has been arbitrarily imposed by some strategic choice before consulting with the end customer.
Production in Italy
We build what we sell entirely in Italy. This guarantees compliance with high environmental standards in all production phases. We are constantly committed to reducing the environmental impact of our production. We use advanced technologies to minimize waste and energy used in the production process.
Photovoltaic systems are mounted on the roofs of our workshops, which partially cover the company's energy needs, ensuring that every phase of production is as eco-friendly as possible.
Made in Italy
Eco-friendly packaging
We are committed to constant research to minimize the use of plastic, to better protect products during transport with recycled and recyclable materials , especially paper and cardboard.
The shipments
We gather as many items as possible in a single shipment . For this reason, delivery may take a few more days, but this optimizes the courier's travel, ensuring a lower environmental impact. We ask the couriers we use to also commit to reducing the environmental impact. At the moment we mainly use two carriers: GLS and BRT.
For GLS we have joined the “Climate Protect” program , which means that on every single package shipped we pay a fee that is allocated to “forest conservation projects and the installation of systems for the production of energy from renewable sources” (to find out more click HERE ).
BRT is committed to an environmental program aimed at reducing emissions by 2030 and claims to be “the first company globally in the delivery sector to have short- and long-term CO2 emission reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative.” To date, it has dramatically increased the use of electric vehicles and the use of energy from renewable sources in its logistics centers ( learn more ).
