How BLISS is made

Bazza products are not made from plastic. They are made from a new bio-based material that we call BLISS: The Bio-based, lightweight, super strong and simply sensational revolution. BLISS was developed together with a French multinational with decades of innovation in materials.

From Beans to Oil

Essentially, BLISS grows on trees. A bean is planted, that grows into a tree, and gives many more beans. These trees grow in arid regions, so the plantation of BLISS does not compete with food production. These beans are harvested, pressed and the oil extracted.

From Oil to BLISS

Finally, our clever friends in France transform this oil into small pellets that we call BLISS. In our Italian factory, we use them to create our products.
The production process is completely waste-free, because we can and do recycle any scraps. BLISS can be recycled again and again and again.

Our Exchange-Program: Bazza forever!

We are convinced that our products will accompany you for many, many years in your life. That's why we offer a five-year guarantee.

Should anything happen to your Bazza product after these five years, you can send it back to us, and as a thank you, we will give you a 50% discount voucher for our shop.

100% BLISS

Since all our products are made only from BLISS, we can simply grind them down and make a new product from them. This way, no waste is created!

All the details

Is this just greenwashing?

In short, no. We took enormous efforts and expenses during design and development to make sure we get the best possible result for the planet, and for you:

  • All of our products are made of just two materials: BLISS and sometimes elements from aluminum. Both materials are 100% recyclable, again and again.
  • We designed all products to be easily assembled and disassembled for recycling: there is no glue, no stitching.
  • Having less weight, thus using less material, thus using less energy to create and shape the materials, is always better for the environment. Lightness wins!
  • Your Bazza products will last longer, thanks to the higher durability of BLISS.
  • BLISS uses significantly less CO2 during production than leather or plastic.

What do you mean by "BIO-based"?

Plastic (such as used on normal luggage) is made from petrolium, a non-renewable source. Bio-Based means that BLISS is NOT made from petrolium. BLISS is made from beans, which grow on trees and are a natural, renewable source. To grow, the trees need very little water, so they are not grown in competition to food sources.

How is CO2 reduction calculated?

Our CO2 calculations are based on third-party studies. Our smart wallet Armonica uses 94% percent less CO2. We compared Armonica to a standard leather wallet made in China with the same weight and size. Reasons for Armonica’s reduced CO2 footprint include:

  • Material: Leather has a much higher CO2 footprint than BLISS.
    Waste: Leather production creates more waste. Armonica has waste-free production; any remnants are repurposed into new wallets, ensuring no factory
  • Transport: Producing in Italy reduces transport-related CO2 compared to Asian-made products.
  • Energy: Asia relies more on coal power, while Europe uses greener energy sources. BAZZA is currently adding a photovoltaic roof to its factory, for even greener production in the future.
  • Recycling: Traditional leather products aren’t recyclable. Bazza Armonica can be continuously recycled, again and again and again.

Where are your products made?

Here in our Bazza factory in Italy near Milano, we use BLISS to create our Products. 100% Made in Italy.

Where is BLISS made?

BLISS is formulated and made specifically for us by our partner Arkema in France. The prime material used to make BLISS are beans.

Is the process of creating BLISS from beans ecological?

BLISS-beans grow in arid land. That is land that has very little water and is therefore not suitable to grow food. The production of BLISS is therefore not in competition with food sources. The beans are then pressed to extract oil, and this oil is then used to create BLISS. The magic transition from bean-oil to BLISS is done in France, under very strict environmental protection rules.
