Marin Sustainability

Marin is committed to sustainability and working with our retail partners to ensure that we do everything we can to minimize the impact we all have on our environment when prepping a bike for sale. With that, we have implemented a new Green Bear program and will be giving dealers who commit to taking a few steps an icon in our dealer locator.

Our sustainability programs

  • Marin box We ship our bikes to minimize waste and maximize the number of bikes shipped per container for efficiency, as well as ensuring that our bikes are well protected in transit. Because having to replace a damaged frame uses more resources, materials and shipping. We are also working on an initiative to further reduce the amount of plastics used. Packaging for our new parts and accessories line utilizes fully recyclable cardboard instead of plastic bags.
  • Cardboard Marin’s offices reuse shipping cartons and packaging material such as padding and zip ties to help keep usable items out of the waste stream. Order small parts or apparel from Marin, and the items will likely not arrive in new packaging.
  • Marin frame parts Our bikes are designed to provide long-lasting enjoyment, and are generally made of fully recyclable materials, such as aluminum and steel.
