34 Sustainability Lasts a lifetime. Or three… OLD
STOVES PUT US IN A GOOD MOOD - a reminder that we have always thought sustainably. Long product lifecycle and access to spare parts – this is the foundation of our sustainability philosophy. LONG BEFORE SUSTAINABILITY became a buzzword in environmental conversations, it has been the foundation behind Trangia since the company was founded back in 1925. Trangia products are still manufactured in Trångsviken, a small village located in northern Sweden. This makes it easier for us to secure our high-quality standard, and adapt quickly to change. WE SOMETIMES hear from customers who are looking for spare parts for a stove they bought in the 1970s. This is never a problem because our stoves are built in modules. With the right spare part, an old friend will be like new again. For us, these orders are a wonderful reminder that we got it right from beginning. That we have prioritised quality – and taken no shortcuts – means that our stoves last for generations. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR CUSTOMERS who have always had high expectations on our company. It inspires us every day to do better. Raw material OUR ALUMINIUM comes from European manufacturers. 97% of our purchases are local. Packaging THE MAJORITY OF our packaging is cardboard. We have less than 5% of plastic left to phase out. Recycling WE RECYCLE ALL cut-off material and work on minimising all forms of production waste. Circularity WE HAVE INITIATED more circular material flows with cases out of textile industry waste.
