Sustainability
Ballo and the Environment - Humanscale products are designed with a constant
and genuine focus on their environmental impact at every stage of their
development. For us, the best designs in the world achieve more with less,
and sustainability is the natural result of this focus.

used PVC (also known as vinyl) that can be harmful to people and the
environment. Instead, Ballo employs an eco-friendly material made from
Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV). TPV contains no residues, no heavy metals
or phthalate esters chemicals. This durable product ensures excellent
flexibility, high tear resistance and long term use, ensuring hours of safe,
secure and healthy movement with Ballo.
