Taking action at every stage
Eco-design integrated into our packaging choices
Our approach is based on material selection, product design and the continuous improvement of our practices.
01
Selected materials
Improve the materials used and prioritise recycled or recyclable solutions whenever possible.
02
Designed to last
Work on components, handles, windows and finishes to develop packaging that is more closely aligned with our objectives.
03
Continuous improvement
Measure, compare and continuously improve our practices across collections and according to the requirements of each project.
Milestones
An approach developed over time

Structuring our approach
Eco-design progressively becomes a key focus in product development and material selection.

Products that reflect our approach
When eco-design becomes tangible
Over the years, certain products have marked important milestones in the evolution of our material and design choices.
2020
Lupuna
A collection that marks an important milestone in the development of 100% paper luxury bags and in the evolution of certain components towards more easily recyclable solutions.
2024
Lady Belle
Inspired by leather goods, Lady Belle is made from recycled paper and reflects the search for a balance between professional use, aesthetics and eco-design.
Professional packaging & eco-design
More responsible packaging solutions for professionals
GIMEX International supports professionals with their bag and packaging needs by progressively integrating eco-design criteria, including the use of recycled or recyclable materials, the reduction of certain finishes and the development of solutions adapted to professional use.
This approach applies to both our standard ranges and our custom projects. It is part of a continuous improvement process, in line with our quality commitments and our aim to better manage the environmental impact of our activities.
