Sustainable Scooters for a Greener World on Wheels

Innovators:
Design. Function.
Ecologic Production.

A greener world on wheels—that’s our mission: We are proud to be the 1^st scooter brand in the world to achieve these milestones:

• Working towards 100% GRS plastic* across all components
• Currently 25-40% GRS plastic* in our 3-wheel collection
• New ECOLOGIC collection:
  • 100% GRS plastic & biodegradable wheat-straw in GO•UP FOLDABLE PLUS ECOLOGIC
  • 60% GRS plastic & biodegradable wheat-straw in JUNIOR FOLDABLE LIGHTS ECOLOGIC

MADE WITH 100% LOVE*

We are proudly taking steps to help people live and stand by their own green values, choices, and practices. Striving towards our common goal of sustainability, let’s scoot to eco-lution in a greener world on wheels. 

Kick it through scooting!

The transport sector emits +20% of the world’s carbon. But sustainable urban mobility is our pièce de résistance: Iconic rides that are eco-friendly and emission-free by their very nature.

We want to create a safe, accessible metropolitan environment where citizens can reach destinations with zero-emissions transport, like walking, cycling, and—best of all—scooting. 

World cities like Lyon (where we’re designed), Hong Kong (where we’re HQ’d), Zurich, Paris, Seoul, Prague, Vienna, London, Singapore, Stockholm, Frankfurt, and many more are leading the way with robust networks and initiatives for sustainable urban mobility—and we’re proud to be there for all, every scoot of the way!

Sustainable urban mobility is at the heart of everything we do. It’s who we are. It’s why we are: With car usage for short trips comprising the largest share of journeys in any given city, if we all can simply scoot more for even just those quick distances, work commutes, and errands out, we can conquer our automobile dependency and kick the CO2 habit together!

Global Recycled Standard = The Globber Standard

Globber is committed to reducing waste by reusing it: Our 3-wheel collection is made with 25-40% GRS plastic*—and we’re working towards 100% GRS plastic* across all collections.

Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international protocol that verifies recycled content in final products. It covers the full supply chain, shows truth in materials, and supports a circular economy. Using GRS plastic saves energy and water and prevents tonnes of waste from going to landfills.

Greener Manufacturing

As we build up to 100% GRS plastic*, our manufacturing processes are GRS-certified by trusted and accredited certifying bodies for major textile standards. Their GRS certification guarantees that we voluntarily but wholly adhere to strict GRS manufacturing protocols:

• Procuring our GRS plastic from GRS-certified suppliers only
• When producing our GRS components, implementing special manufacturing and warehouse areas to avoid mixing with non-GRS plastics
• Post-production, trading any remaining GRS plastic to renewable resource recovery firms for further reuse

We exist to disrupt our industry

We are proud to be the 1st scooter brand in the world to apply this esteemed international standard, pioneering a greener world on wheels.

GRS Plastic & Wheat-Straw in ECOLOGIC Collection

Our new ECOLOGIC collection is the 1st of its kind to infuse biodegradable wheat-straw with GRS plastic*:

• GO•UP FOLDABLE PLUS ECOLOGIC: 100% GRS plastic + wheat-straw*
• JUNIOR FOLDABLE LIGHTS ECOLOGIC: 60% GRS plastic + wheat-straw*

Wheat-straw is a bioplastic that’s 100% biodegradable and renewable. A by-product of wheat harvesting, it diverts from the waste stream, helps surrounding material decompose, and minimises environmental impacts of production and non-renewable resources.

Greener Sourcing

While traditional plastic production drills the earth and extracts oil to make synthetic polymers, our supplier’s wheat-straw production reuses refuse and breaks down the plant’s walls to yield natural polymers: cellulose and lignin.

Non-toxic, strong, and durable, these natural wheat-straw polymers plus GRS plastic* ensure our new ECOLOGIC collection is recycled and biodegradable* while being structurally sound, safe, and sustainable to scoot all day, every day!

Globber Magic: Poof! 1 Purchase = 3+ Products

Globber is in it for the long haul, and our patented designs—which built to last—are a testament to that promise. Our products can be your sustainability companion for years. As just a few examples: 

• The EXPLORER TRIKE Series is an all-in-one trike and balance bike for little explorers from babyhood to toddler years. As your child grows, you can transform the baby bike into 4 different modes of fun: infant trike (10-36M), guided trike (18-36M), training trike (24-36M), and balance bike (2-5Y). 
• The GO•UP Series is also an all-in-one design that caters to multiple age ranges by integrating 3 different products in 1, with each mode suitable for toddlers 10-15 months until 7-9+ years of age. 
• ULTIMUM scooters are 3-wheel rides that support a 100kg rider weight with a 6-height adjustable T-bar, so that the scooter can be customized to every rider and used by everyone for literally a lifetime—from childhood all the way to adulthood. 

Globber products adapt with growing kids and deliver longevity and durability, promoting a sustainable purchase option for families.

Just as we value longevity, we value reusability

Also exclusive to the Globber brand is our spare parts initiative that further supports long-term usage. Spare wheels, screws, clamps, brakes, and more are on-hand across all regions. So instead of discarding an otherwise good product due to lost parts, you can replace with new parts as a cost-effective, sustainable way to make your Globber as good as new!

35+ million trees in 2022

We want our endeavours to echo for future generations. So we’re answering the call and supporting environmental conservation and restoration through a partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation dedicated to reforesting the globe. 

Forests cover 31% of our land surface, but that area is shrinking—we lost 420 million hectares of our forests to deforestation between 1990-2020 alone. To help address our diminishing woodlands, Globber is proud to contribute to the planting of 35-45 million trees worldwide in 2022. 

With more than 40 reforestation projects around the globe, trees are being planted where they’re needed most. As but a few examples: 

• 1.5 million fruit trees have been planted in India to alleviate hunger and poverty while fighting pollution and climate change across the country. 
• Over 900,000 Abies religiosa (Oyamel) trees have been planted in Mexico to safeguard critical wintering grounds for monarch butterflies. Beyond their ephemeral beauty and awe-inspiring migrations, monarch butterflies are one of nature's most important pollinators and have been under threat due to deforestation, pesticides, and climate change.
• Ireland and the United Kingdom used to have glorious forest coverage, but changes in land use have caused extensive deforestation. One million trees will be planted to sequester carbon and create climate resilience by reducing flooding and the effects of pollution. This project supports increased access to public woodland, especially for communities in need. 

We’ve also designed our PRIMO FOLDABLE WOOD LIGHTS with an FSC-certified wood deck. FSC-certified wood is sourced from responsibly managed and re-planted forests recognised by the internationally accredited Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).

The loss of our forests will have a ripple effect touching each and every one of us, from the food we eat to the health of the ecosystems we depend on. Together in sustainably replanting and harvesting, we can help breathe new life into the planet.

We’re proud to work with One Tree Planted to help gain more forest grounds and rejuvenate biodiversity, welcoming the next generation with a greener world on wheels.
