Why a Chinese made Rakko makes sense
As of now we decided to manufacture the Rakko in China instead of France for the following reasons:
On the material
The stainless steel will be coming from China no matter where we manufacture as it is the main worldwide producer and exporter.
Manufacturing on site avoid shipping tonnes of unnecessary materials to France and then ship back to China the production wastes.
On the shipping
The Rakko only weight 19g so even if a thousand units are shipped they will only weight 19kg for a parcel roughly the size of an A4 ream paper.
On the sustainability
The manufacturer is RoHS compliant, which means that it follows a European directive encouraging eco conception, waste sorting and recycling.
On the manufacturing
The manufacturing process is fully automated and the same in France, China or any part of the world, making the product in France would not bring a special French savoir-faire, it would onl add to the labour cost.
