Bike Brand is Riding High with an 85% Drop in Plastic Wrap

German bicycle maker Diamant replaces plastic bubble wrap with recyclable kraft paper to protect its bikes' handlebars during transportation, eliminating 16 metric tons of plastic per year.

The bags were designed by Mondi and Diamant to provide increased protection for the handlebars of all of the company’s mountain and trekking bikes.
The bags were designed by Mondi and Diamant to provide increased protection for the handlebars of all of the company’s mountain and trekking bikes.

Diamant has been manufacturing elegant city bicycles in Germany since the late 19th century when a pair of craft-minded brothers, Friedrich and Wilhelm Nevoigt, who produced sinkers for knitting machines, turned their attention to two-wheeled transportation. After 100-plus years in business, the company, now owned by Trek Bicycle Corp., continues to develop new technologies that make city riding more accessible—and sustainable—for cyclists throughout Europe.

Says the company, “We believe the bicycle is a simple solution to many of the world’s most complex problems—from climate change to traffic congestion, equitable mobility, and more. That’s why we’re committed to supporting organizations and causes that use bikes as a force of good for our planet and every person on it.”
