About Rhita Nachhaltigkeitskoffer
Montage und Demontage aus Gründen der Nachhaltigkeit. Mit einem innovativen Scharniersystem wurden 70 Prozent der Teile reduziert, kein Kleber oder Niet zur Fixierung, kein Nähen des Innenfutters, was die Reparatur erleichtert, und 33 Prozent des Frachtvolumens verkleinert, um schließlich den Koffer zu verlängern Lebenszyklus. Alle Teile können einzeln gekauft werden, um den eigenen Koffer anzupassen oder Teile auszutauschen. Es ist keine Rückgabe des Koffers an das Reparaturzentrum erforderlich. Dies spart Zeit und reduziert den CO2-Fußabdruck beim Versand.
