Production Process
Atrezzo is unique among mannequin competitors: by realizing the whole production in-house, we do not shift responsibility onto other actors of the value chain.
This enables atrezzo to ensure that every impact generated during the production process is properly addressed through its sustainability strategy.

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard that sets out the criteria for an environmental management system (EMS).
It provides a framework that companies can follow, rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. This standard assists organizations in integrating environmental management into their business operations, ensuring sustainability and environmental responsibility.
By achieving ISO 14001 certification, an organization demonstrates its commitment to reducing its environmental impact and continuous improvement in this area. It's a vital tool in today's environmentally conscious market, emphasizing a company's dedication to sustainable practices and minimizing its ecological footprint.
SO 45001 is an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. It aims to provide a framework for organizations to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for their employees and stakeholders.
This standard not only addresses potential hazards but also focuses on the well-being and health of employees.
By adopting ISO 45001, organizations demonstrate their proactive commitment to enhancing safety, preventing workplace injuries, and ensuring that their health and safety management practices are always up-to-date.
Raw materials
The debate about which raw material is best for the environment is ongoing and there is no single easy answer.
At the present time, there is no market-ready raw material that is fully sustainable and even biodegradable options have environmental impact in terms of energy waste, handling, disposal and emissions.
We are firmly convinced we need to be transparent with our clients, while investigating new solution that may revolutionize the market.
LSE resin (Low Styrene Resin) is best for high design at low production units.
The mold is the most adaptable and flexible, allowing for greater product detail.
Molds are also least expensive, making this a good option for low production quantities. Also, since production is highly artisanal it requires the lowest energy consumption.
A LSE resin mannequin's single parts can be easily substituted or upcycled with new pieces and their recyclability degree is good: resin mannequins can be shredded and thermally recycled. We have also found a partner that can recycle resin mannequins using the material in the boat industry.
Additionally, a mannequin made of this material is lighter than other options, which has benefits for transportation and logistics (scope 3 of the carbon footprint).
PU is best for low-quantity production and product resistance.
A PU mannequin's single parts can be easily substituted or upcycled with new pieces and their recyclability degree is good: PU mannequins can be shredded and thermally recycled. We have also found a partner that can recycle resin mannequins using the material in the boat industry.
Moreover, these mannequins require a mold that is highly flexible and, therefore, easily reusable. The cost of PU molds is also low, making this a good material for lower quantity production.
PU yields resistant mannequin and is a good solution for mannequins with frequent handling.
We are currently using a PU with 30% of bio polyols, derived from vegetable oils.
PS uses some recycled inputs and yields a recyclable material.
PS blow molding extrusion process does not produce waste and all the non-conforming parts are recycled in a closed loop.
Mannequins made of PS offer a long-term durability and the material can be recycled and converted into a new mannequin, so we highly encourage clients to dispose of these mannequins properly at the end of their life.
On the other hand, PS mannequins require significant energy to be produced.
PS molds are highly inflexible and the costliest, making PS recommended for high quantity productions.
• Bioplastic for 3D printers
• Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified Wood
• Sustainable fabrics
• All the fabrics we use have the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification
• Water-based paints
Atrezzo rejects the use of any Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
* PS IS THE ONLY RAW MATERIAL THAT CAN BE RECYCLED IN A CLOSED LOOP: USED MANNEQUINS ARE SHREDDED MECHANICALLY AND THE MATERIAL IS RE-MELTED TO PRODUCE A NEW MANNEQUIN.
100% recyclable packaging
Sustainability is a long-term strategy and a differentiating factor in our market.
This ambition, as it could not be otherwise, has led us to offer our customers the option of having a 100% recyclable packaging.
The 100% recyclable packaging is one more step to integrate our activity in the sustainability plans of our customers within an all-around vision throughout retail.
In addition, our new 100% recyclable packaging still maintains a high-quality and high level of protection. atrezzo has always stood out for having less than 1% returns due to transport damage.
The 100% recyclable packaging is a starting point among the most ambitious goals which we have committed ourselves as members of the fashion pact. Environmental protection is a long-distance race; that's why we will keep on looking for alternatives to the conventional packaging, to move towards even more sustainable solutions.
