About Shimano's sustainable packaging efforts
Eco-Friendly packaging
We constantly search for new ways to promote health and happiness through the enjoyment of nature and the world around us. Product packaging is a huge opportunity to reduce waste and deliver our products more sustainably. That is why we decided to transition to more sustainable packaging solutions for our components and service, and upgrade parts, footwear, apparel, and most eyewear packaging.
We focused on four key points to create more eco-friendly designs.
•Eliminate as much single-use plastics as possible to reduce CO2 and marine pollution.
•Transition to environmentally friendly paper.
•Make better use of resources with smaller package designs.
•Reduce the amount of ink on packaging to make recycling easier.
FOOTWEAR
We make our eco-friendly shoeboxes with environmentally friendly paper and significantly less ink to reduce the impact on each box. They also sport a fresh, modern design that folds down effortlessly and is easier to recycle.
Eyewear
Most of our cycling eyewear is also changing to more sustainable designs to reduce its impact on the world we love. Their eco-friendlier redesign eliminates plastic, uses environmentally friendly paper, smaller packaging, and less ink.
Closer to Nature, Closer to people
