Alias thinks sustainable:
Alias is committed to creating sustainable products while minimising its environmental impact through an all-around approach that involves every stage of its activities.
Timeless design
Alias Green Manifesto
Alias's design approach aims to reduce production complexity in favour of disassembly, thus facilitating the repair of damaged components and their proper disposal at the end of their life cycle.
This commitment translates into the research and use of innovative materials, attention to production processes and high-quality design. The "Green Manifesto" is the concretization of all this.
The Sustainable Heart of Alias
ZERO MILE PRODUCTION
Our products are made in Italy at our headquarters, in Grumello del Monte (BG), with the involvement of local suppliers.
LONG-LASTING PRODUCTS
Our products are designed to last in time thanks to innovative materials, production methods and high-quality design.
DISASSEMBLABLE AND REPAIRABLE PRODUCTS
Our design approach aims to reduce production complexity in favour of disassembly, thus facilitating the repair of damaged components, and their proper disposal at the end of life.
MAKE TO ORDER
Our production policy has always been based on minimising finished product stocks: we only produce to order, optimising energy and material consumption.
UP TO 10-YEAR WARRANTY
Our products are all covered by guarantees, some even up to 10 years.
AFTER SALES
Our after-sales team is committed to supporting our customers by prolonging product life.
ALIAS FOR SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
We have always been committed to supporting social and cultural activities that sustain our local community.
GREEN TEAM
A heterogeneous team where experiences and points of view intertwine to address sustainability through tangible objectives.
MATERIAlias
Alias is committed to using recycled and recyclable materials. Our mission is to constantly innovate design products through research into sustainable and resourceful materials without losing focus on design quality.
ALUMINIUM
Aluminum is a light and durable material that can be recycled indefinitely without losing its material quality. The main collections of Alias are made of aluminium, in particular Frame, Frametable and Kobi.
STEEL
Steel is a robust and durable alloy completely recyclable. It currently is the material with the highest recycling rates in the world.
MDF
MDF, an extremely compact and resistant material composed of very fine recycled wood fibres bonded together. The outer surfaces are protected by ultra-matt, anti-fingerprint and self-repairing varnishes that enhance aesthetic quality and durability.
PLASTIC
Plastic is a complex of polymers, lightweight and durable. Alias uses high-quality plastics in the Slim, Segesta and Spaghetti collections. These products can be completely disassembled to facilitate repairs and disposal at the end of the product life cycle.
Company certifications
ISO 14001
ISO 14001 is the international standard for the definition of an environmental management system. Adherence to certification is voluntary. Alias, therefore, adhering, chooses to manage and improve its environmental impact by pursuing the objectives of environmental protection, pollution prevention and reduction of energy and resource consumption.
ISO 9001
The international standard ISO 9001 defines the requirements and guidelines for a higher quality and efficiency of internal processes. The goal is to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. Alias complies with the requirements and has been ISO 9001 certified since 2002.
Products certifications
FSC®
FSC® certification identifies wooden products sourced from responsibly managed forests that respect the ecosystems, animals and people that depend on them. We use FSC® certified wood in our outdoor collection in heat-treated ash tech wood by Alberto Meda, and a selection of seats with solid wood legs, including Segesta wood and Taormina wood chairs by Alfredo Häberli, slim chair wood by PearsonLloyd and Kayak stool by Patrick Norguet.
GREENGUARD®
The certification decrees the effort for the well-being of people in indoor environments, setting emission limits for chemicals and pollutants used in production. Alias has joined the program created by the American Institute UL Environment, with the Frame and Frametable collections by Alberto Meda and the Slim collection by PearsonLloyd. A selection of products has obtained the GREENGUARD GOLD level, which includes even more restrictive criteria.
