Promoting a more sustainable approach to mobility aids by designing modular rollators, using durable materials and efficient production methods.
A modular design with a sustainable mission
Eco-friendly mobility solutions
To promote long-term sustainability, it is imperative to advocate for reduced consumerism and prioritize environmentally-friendly production methods. Rollz has recognized these values from the very beginning and contributed with designing modular products that have a longer lifespan.
Rollz's modular system enables customized modifications to meet the changing mobility needs of users. This type of flexibility allows new technologies and features to be integrated easily, which helps extend the longevity of the rollators and reduce waste. Our latest development showcases the efficiency of this system, as it has been designed to cater to three different mobility needs, resulting in a significant reduction of 66% in production. This has contributed towards a more sustainable manufacturing process, which benefits both the environment and individuals.
One rollator for multiple mobility needs
Easy customization
Our team is committed to continuously improving our products and pushing the boundaries of innovation in healthcare. In doing so, while remaining sustainable, we use the Rollz Motion rollator as the baseline for our products, allowing for various add-ons and custom options.
The wheelchair package add-on, for instance, transforms the rollator into a 2-in-1 mobility solution that includes a transport-chair option. The Rhythm module adds features suitable for people living with neurological conditions while the electric kit can transform the Rollz Motion into an electric wheelchair.
By using a modular approach, we are able to apply new developments to existing products, reducing waste, and helping customers save money by not having to purchase new products every time their mobility needs change.
Not just for seniors
Adaptable rollators for diverse mobility needs
Our range of rollators comprises two adaptable products, the Rollz Motion and the Rollz Flex, designed to cater to changing mobility requirements over time. These two rollators are designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of individuals, from seniors experiencing mobility challenges due to aging to young people with rare diseases or neurological conditions, as well as those who require support during rehabilitation after an accident or traumatic injury. The versatility of features and options contributes to Rollz's sustainable mission by offering a single product for a complete mobility cycle.
Our future developments will include add-ons that enable users to access valuable data on their walking behavior and frequency. This will encourage physical activity and potentially help to mitigate neurological conditions.
Lifecycle & Service
Durable materials
Rollz rollators are well-known for their exceptional sturdiness and durability, and have established an impressive track record of over a decade in terms of quality.
What sets us apart from our competitors is our commitment to using only the highest-quality prime materials in our durable designs. As a result, there are Rollz models over ten years old that continue to function impeccably, which is a testament to the longevity of our products.
We are proud to have earned a reputation for excellence in the mobility aid industry, and we remain committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and durability in all of our products.
Timeless design
The Rollz frame design has remained unchanged since its inception, allowing us to focus on improving the functionality by developing better add-on features. This approach has resulted in a highly efficient manufacturing process and minimized waste.
It is essential to acknowledge that making changes to the design can often require modifying the production process, leading to significant waste over time. By adhering to our original design, we have been able to avoid such inefficiencies and maintain a sustainable production process.
We take pride in our ability to offer our customers a product that meets their needs and aligns with our values of sustainability and efficiency.
Streamlining production
All of our production processes are carried out in Taiwan, a country that has one of the most technologically advanced and prosperous economies globally. Our partnership with local suppliers and manufacturers ensures that our products meet the highest quality standards.
By taking advantage of Taiwan’s streamlined logistics, we have optimized the efficiency of our production process while reducing labor and logistical costs. Furthermore, our partners’ commitment to sustainability aligns with our own values. Their dedication to environmental protection and renewable energy sources complements our efforts to minimize our ecological footprint and operate in an environmentally responsible manner.
Packaging & transportation
To ensure optimal storage utilization and minimize our environmental footprint, we have consistently improved our packaging materials. Our latest solution is the T-box, which maximizes space efficiency and ensures secure product transit. This design has enabled us to optimize our shipping strategy by increasing capacity by up to 30%. As a result, we can reduce fuel usage and minimize the number of shipments required.
Furthermore, the T-box carton is made from unbleached materials, which aligns with our commitment to sustainability. This choice has significantly reduced our environmental impact and allowed us to minimize our carbon footprint.
Shop. Sell. Sustain.
Second-hand market
At Rollz, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mobility aids, regardless of their financial circumstances. Although we have already taken steps to make our rollators accessible through affordable pricing, we understand that some individuals may still face financial barriers.
To address this issue, we are exploring the possibility of creating a marketplace platform where people can re-sell their Rollz rollators. By doing so, we aim to make our rollators more affordable and accessible to a wider range of individuals, while also extending the lifespan of our products and fostering a vibrant community.
