Sustainable development
Naturen creates containers to collect and facilitate the recycling of waste.
Recycling allows waste to have a second life. This enables the creation of systems that reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reduce the extraction of raw materials.
Limiting the use of packaging as much as possible by analysing the replacement of single use packaging with recyclable packaging is primordial to protect our future.
Naturen products are made in France.
When we outsource the production of our products we favour the use of local companies and also organisations that help marginalised people to find work.
Pocket ashtrays
The The two models of pocket ashtrays proposed by Naturen are 100% made in the Grenoble area. They are assembled and customised by an ESAT (an organisation that helps marginalised people to find work).
Naturen strives to replace the plastic used for these two models with recycled plastic. Naturen is in discussion with its suppliers to encourage this change. It has been difficult to find suppliers of recycled plastic in France but we will launch our first recycled pocket ashtrays shortly.

Waste recycling units
The Naturen’s waste recycling units are made in the Saint Etienne, Lyon and Grenoble areas, in partnership with socially and environmentally responsible manufacturers (100% Made in France and local). Some models are made by an ESAT (an organisation that helps marginalised people to find work).
Our units are made out of Aluminium/composite which lightens considerably their weight. The aluminium used is 80% recycled. At the end of their lifespan the units can be returned (through a prior agreement) and totally recycled.
These units can be folded (Trinomad Brand, patented) which reduces their volume by 30, making them far easier to transport. The reduced transport volume is good for the environment, reduces CO2 emissions and provides a considerable saving in transport costs. These units are equipped with interior containers made of recycled honeycomb plastic.
Naturen works relentlessly to reduce the environmental impact of the production of its products
We are convinced that eco-innovation is essential for the success of our company and these concerns also strongly influence the decision making process of our customers who are more and more aware of these issues.
