Merveyl : I'm Green™

Discover “I'm green™”, the bio-sourced collection offered by Merveyl. An ecological innovation for quality hotel supplies that respect the environment!

A GREENER SOLUTION

A true ecological turning point in the hotel industry

The hospitality industry is a major consumer of resources and generator of waste. It is now necessary to find solutions to ensure a more sustainable future.
One of the major challenges of this transformation is to replace the conventional EVA used in the manufacture of the soles of slippers and flip-flops with other, more environmentally-friendly materials.

 

 

A sector with a high carbon footprint

The hospitality industry produces 2.87 million tonnes of plastic a year.

Plastic as a raw material

It takes 100 to 1000 years for a plastic bottle to decompose naturally.

Plastic in nature 

Over 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the oceans every year.

A necessary change 

By 2050, with no change, the volume of plastic in the oceans will exceed the population of fish.

 

The I'm green™ collection by Merveyl

  

At Merveyl, we're constantly on the lookout for new ways to meet the demands of hotels and the expectations of the public. That's why we've come up with a unique ecological offering.

We entered into a partnership with Braskem, the pioneering producer of biopolymers on an industrial scale. Together, we have developed a collection of biosourced neutral slippers and flip-flops, based on Braskem's I'm green™ EVA.

A partnership promoting transparency on the composition of the biobased products integrated into the slippers and flip-flops.

I'm green™ EVA is based entirely on renewable sugarcane, an eco-friendly raw material and an innovation in the hospitality sector!

An environmentally-friendly resource

 Sugar cane absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere throughout its growth, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and can therefore even achieve a negative CO₂ balance.
Let's recycle!

I'm green™ EVA is 100% recyclable in the same stream already developed for conventional EVA.

CO₂ emissions

 A spa hotel with around 150 rooms consumes an average of 50,000 pairs of flip-flops a year. Thanks to I'm green™, a saving of over 14 tonnes of CO₂ can be made, equivalent in CO2 emissions to 14 cars running all year round!

 

The ideal alternative

I'm green™ EVA replaces conventional resin without investing in new plastic processing machinery.

 

C0₂ Strategy has carried out a study on the I'm green™ by Merveyl production line.

 

The results of the study are very conclusive. Taking all the above criteria into account, the production of bio-sourced flip-flops reduces our carbon footprint by around 25%.

carbon footprint

As a bonus, sugar cane absorbs CO₂from the air around it throughout its life and fixes it in the soil.

If we take this into account, the greenhouse gas emissions impact of the I'm green™ collection even becomes negative!

“We created our I'm green™ collection with the aim of reducing our impact on the environment, but also to give our customers the opportunity to do the same!”

To make sure the benefits of our innovative offering are true, we called in the environmental experts! CO₂Strategy therefore carried out a comprehensive study. This compares the carbon impact of producing flip-flops traditionally made from plastic with that of I'm green™ flip-flops. We can then better understand how creating bio-sourced flip-flops reduces our CO₂ emissions!

Carried out at scopes 1, 2 and 3, it takes into account: the purchase of raw materials, the transport of goods and finished products to the end customer, packaging, the resources used for manufacturing in the factory, the waste produced throughout the life cycle of the flip-flops, and finally all the emissions from our distribution site (energy, building and the movement of people).
