Emmaljunga - Truly Green

Emmaljungas are always made in such a way that their service life is as long as possible - far from the disposable culture. Emmaljunga strollers are designed to last, and all parts of them can be serviced and repaired easily. Emmaljungs have a very long life cycle - the same carriages are usually passed from one sibling to another and from one family to the next.

“We are not moving production to Asia. This allows us to closely monitor our ecological footprint. We are proud to have come this far. But this is just the beginning.“

Over the past decades, Emmaljunga has invested in greenness and environmental friendliness. The Swedish family-owned company sticks to its values and has not moved its production to China, along with many other wagon brands. The Emmaljunga factory is still located in the same small Swedish village as before, but its operating processes have been updated to be as sustainable and responsible as possible.

EMMALJUNGA GREEN PRODUCTION:

1. Dyeing method of Dope Dye fabrics

Dope Dye is a method of dyeing fabrics that involves dyeing each strand separately before weaving the fabric out of it, rather than dyeing the entire fabric only after it is finished. In this way, staining uses 80% less water, which significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and water waste generated from treatment.

2. Moisture-repellent protective layer

Emmaljunga stroller fabrics are durable, fluorocarbon-free moisture-repellent protective layer. Fluorocarbon has been commonly used in the treatment of fabrics for strollers, as it is an effective ingredient against dirt and water, but there are certain chemicals in these treatments that cause harm to the environment. Fluorocarbon-free treatment has fewer chemicals that are harmful to the environment and has a lower chemical load, making it a more environmentally friendly option. Durable fabrics are sewn in Poland.

3. Hydro REDUXA Aluminum

Hydro REDUXA aluminum is used for the body of the Emmaljunga stroller, which

1. Produced in Sweden: Aluminum produced in Europe is notoriously less burdensome to the climate compared to that produced elsewhere in the world.

Produced using only renewable energy sources: hydro, wind, and solar power.

2. Hydro REDUXA is a low-carbon aluminium alternative, which is why Emmaljunga has chosen it as its body material. Reduxa aluminium has been produced so that its carbon footprint is less than a quarter of the average carbon footprint of aluminium produced in the world. Emmaljunga ionizes aluminum frames in its own factory, in order to monitor the quality of the coating material.

4. Most of the cars are recyclable.

Emmaljunga stroller tires are 100% recyclable and made in Germany from phthalate-free recycled plastic. The plastic parts of the trolleys and the aluminium frame are also recyclable, so when it is finally time for trolleys designed to be sustainable go out of service, a large proportion of trolleys will continue to live as part of the circular economy. Emmaljunga serves as a good example of how companies can support the circular economy, to which e.g. Sitra urges.

5. The plant uses only renewable energy

The electrical energy at the Emmaljunga plant comes from renewable hydroelectric power and the thermal energy from renewable fossil-free energy (RME). The plant also uses a closed water purification system (= 0% emissions). A 1,500 m² solar cell system generates its own electricity for Emmaljunga. The exhaust air generated from the surface treatment of the hulls is converted into thermal energy by heat pumps - this is how the Emmaljunga plant is heated even in winter without fossil fuels. Through these actions, the plant has earned ISO14001 environmental certification.
