Description

You won't blend in to the sea of black umbrellas with this cute Asian-inspired design - its unique style makes funky, fashion-forward and functional! This cute umbrella is completely biodegradable - the canopy is made made of a unique ego-friendly transparent PVC that keeps you dry while letting the light shine in. The bamboo construction keeps the Brelli from flipping inside out in the wind, so the spokes are less likely to break and you're more likely to stay dry and cozy!

Features and Benefits

100% Biodegradable
Made with renewable, sustainable, organic resources
40MPH wind resistant
Winner - Material Vision Design Plus award, 2009 Nominated for the Design award of the Federal Republic of Germany, 2011

BRELLI designed and built the BRELLI so that even in landfill environments, a discarded BRELLI will completely biodegrade in less than five years.....this is only a tiny fraction of the time it takes for a conventional umbrella to biodegrade (estimates range from 40 -80 years for the canopy). BRELLI doesn't have any formal data on how long it takes conventional umbrellas with a metal fram to completely biodegrade because they take so many years. BRELLI has worked diligently to create and use materials that, during their biodegration process, release only harmless gases. the gas released by each discarded BRELLI in a conditional landfill can be harvested to generate enough electricity to recoup more than 90% of the energy that was used to create it.
