What does sustainability mean to us?
Sustainability is all about the truth and authenticity. It is about what we do and not what we say. To GENESIS sustainability means to treat all people, our planet, and our environment with respect. It is about a healthy balance between the ecological, social, and economic aspects of life.
Non-environmentally friendly products are sometimes cheaper to manufacture. When you purchase a non-environmentally friendly product it means someone else is paying the price for it. Environmentally safe quality is not expensive. GENESIS takes responsibility and provides for a healthy atmosphere – for the environment and for society. We believe our customers should do the same.

Plastic-free packaging
Not only do we invest in environmentally friendly materials, we have also developed a special packaging which is 100% plastic-free. We do not use any plastic during the packing process, nor for shipping. Conventional glue and metal clips were replaced by ecological alternatives. The packaging consists of unmixed recycled paper which can be returned to the recycling process.
Recycling
Not only do we care about sustainable product design, development and production, we also offer “end-of-life” cycle service for all our products. When a GENESIS mannequin is ready for disposal, we can offer you environmentally disposal services that ensures our products are repurposed through the creation of clean recycled energy.
We make a concerted effort to implement innovative recycling practices. We work closely with an industry leader that won a 2017 GreenTec Award for its exceptional commitment to environmental safety.
Working conditions in the factory
Our production facility in China has become a pioneer and a model of sustainability. We use as many eco-friendly raw materials as possible in all of our sites.
We pay particular attention to the ecological generation of energy (e.g., solar power), low-emission transportation routes and we use energy-saving appliances (AAA category). We generate heat in the drying chambers and purify the water used for manufacturing in a controlled process.
Last but not least, we recycle in a responsible and adequate manner. Our principles of sustainability are followed on a daily basis in all of our sites and in all areas of the company.
We take ecological energy production to heart
Solar panels on the factory building generate enough energy to provide the entire company and the surrounding apartment blocks with warm water.
Non-toxic, water-based colors are used for coloring*
For coloring our mannequins, we use non-toxic dispersion paint. As these paints are water-based, they contain hardly any solvents and do not present any health risk.

Hands made of certified, non-toxic PVC*
For our mannequin hands, our research laboratory developed a non-toxic poly-vinyl chloride (PVC). It is flexible and break-resistant and was classified as toxically harmless by the independent SGS test laboratory. If requested, the PVC hands can be replaced with bio-resin hands with reinforced fingers.
