How To Choose An Eco Friendly Outdoor Parasol That Lasts

Choosing a sustainable and durable Outdoor Parasol isn’t just good for the planet—it’s a smart investment for your outdoor space. With over two decades in the industry, I’ve seen too many parasols end up in landfills after just one season. So how do you pick one that’s truly eco-friendly and built to last?

Let’s break it down.

What Materials Should You Look For

The foundation of a planet-friendly Outdoor Parasol lies in its materials. Avoid virgin plastics and synthetic fabrics that shed microfibers. Instead, opt for:

• FSC-Certified Wood or Recycled Aluminum for the frame

• Solution-Dyed Polyester or OEKO-TEX® Certified Fabric for the canopy—these reduce water, energy, and dye waste

• UV-Resistant and Water-Repellent finishes that are free from PFCs

At Norler, we use 100% recycled aluminum for our frames and premium eco-friendly fabric made from recycled PET bottles—without compromising on durability or style.

Is the Manufacturing Process Sustainable

Materials matter, but so does how they’re made. Look for brands that prioritize:

• Low-carbon production

• Ethical labor practices

• Recyclable or biodegradable packaging

Norler partners with factories using solar power and aims for zero-waste packaging across all product lines.

What Certifications Really Matter

Don’t just take marketing claims at face value. Trust certifications like:

• Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

• FSC Certification

• OEKO-TEX® Standard 100

These ensure that the Outdoor Parasol you’re buying meets strict environmental and safety standards.
