Micro Scooters is expanding its 'ECO Line' of environmentally friendly products to contribute to solving the ocean waste issue amid growing environmental concerns. Currently, approximately 8 million tons of plastic and discarded fishing nets are discharged annually, with about 11% leaking into the oceans—an amount equivalent to circling the Earth about 425 times.
To address these challenges, the company developed products using recycled materials such as PET bottles and discarded nets recovered from the ocean. A key feature of the ECO Line is that it not only reduces environmental impact through resource circulation but also achieves up to an 82% reduction in CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process. Furthermore, based on Swiss headquarters standards, 1% of the sales from ECO products is donated to environmental protection organizations worldwide through '1% for the Planet.'
The newly released 'Mint' color was planned specifically to meet the needs of the Japanese market. While previous ECO Line products centered on green colors symbolizing the environment, Micro Scooters adopted Mint—a color combining freshness and elegance—due to the Japanese trend of preferring softer, more sophisticated tones. The high-quality design appeals to both children and parents.
The 'Maxi Eco Micro Deluxe LED' is a three-wheeled kick scooter for children aged 5 and older. It features the patented 'Lean-and-Steer structure,' where direction is changed through weight shifting. Equipped with LED wheels that light up automatically during use, it balances safety and fun. The product weighs approximately 2.75kg and has a load capacity of 50kg.
Also available is the 'Micro Eco Scooter Head,' an accessory made from eco-friendly materials. Attached to the front of the kick scooter, it helps improve child safety by cushioning impacts during collisions. Its excellent design makes it a popular item for customization.
Micro Scooters is a Swiss brand supported by a wide range of users from toddlers to adults, having won numerous international awards for its commitment to high quality and safety.
The company commented, 'The sale of this Mint color is an initiative to respond to Japanese market needs while more clearly communicating our value as an environmentally friendly brand.' They plan to continue strengthening product development that combines environmental care, design, and safety.
