Sustainability

While we continually learn more about sustainable material options, we’ve primarily focused on what we know best - design. Specifically, we are aiming for a sustainable product life-cycle, from creation to end of life.

You can build duffel bags out of recycled pop bottles all you want, but when the zipper breaks (which it will), and that whole bag just ends up in the trash, then is it really sustainable?

Central to our pursuit of a sustainable product life cycle, we've got a secret weapon at RUX: design for disassembly.

First, we design and build RUX to last and stay relevant for a lifetime, with durable materials and modular design.

Then, if part of your RUX eventually breaks, we’ve designed it for incredibly easy field repair or efficient product servicing.

And finally, after a life well-lived, your RUX can easily be almost completely disassembled into individual materials. Our end goal for future products is for those individual materials to each be recyclable.

We’re actively working in each of those channels for continued improvement in sustainable product creation. If you have ideas or recommendations, get in touch with Tony our lead designer and RUX co-Founder.
