NIKIN is turning Black Friday into Green Friday, as it has done in previous years. Instead of joining in the discount wars, we prefer to double the positive impact on the environment - by planting two trees for every product sold instead of the usual one. And we're doing this the whole Green Friday weekend from Friday to Monday.
Double the trees, double the impact: on the Green Friday weekend, we plant two trees per product sold instead of one. In this way, we are doubling the positive impact on nature instead of participating in the extreme price wars around Black Friday.
Double impact on the environment
We normally plant one Tree for every product sold - on the Green Friday weekend, we even plant two. To give you an idea of the impact twice the number of trees can have on the environment, we present some sample calculations:
- Oxygen: A small Tree around 20 meters high produces around 10,000 liters of oxygen per day. That's enough for around five to ten people who need between 500 and 2,000 liters of oxygen per day. If you buy a NIKIN product at Green Friday , your two planted trees could therefore produce oxygen for up to 20 people.
- Dust filter: Trees are not considered the green lungs of cities for nothing, as they filter particles and dust from the air via leaves or needles. One Tree filters up to 100 kilograms of dust from the air per year. Your two NIKIN trees together could therefore filter up to 200 kilograms per year.
- CO2 storage: How much CO2 a Tree binds depends on how old the Tree is, its wood density and growth rate, but the soil quality, climate and water supply also play a role. A rough example: a beech tree in our latitudes binds approx. 12.5 kilograms of CO2. In order to absorb one ton of CO2, the beech tree would have to be 80 years old - or two trees together 40 years old.
- Animals: Trees are home to various animal species. In addition to various insects, woodpeckers, martens, dormice, squirrels and bird species also live in the trees - depending on the country and climate zone, the inhabitants naturally differ. Researchers estimate that there are about as many animals per Tree as there are inhabitants in a medium-sized town. So at Green Friday you can give an enormous number of animals a home with your trees.

Symbolic products for Green Friday
To symbolize the double number of trees, we have embroidered two trees instead of one on a few products. But not only these products, but all NIKIN products sold will plant two trees instead of one on the Green Friday weekend. You can find the products from Black Friday (or Green Friday) in our webshop.
800,000 trees planted and every Tree counts
Within four years, the NIKIN community has collectively planted over 800,000 trees. This has already had a huge positive impact on our environment. But we are convinced that every Tree counts and therefore plant "tree by tree". We are also delighted with every order and every pair of trees planted at Green Friday . Incidentally, there are no additional costs for our customers due to the double number of trees. The sales price of our products remains the same, we simply donate twice as much money to our planting partner OneTreePlanted. You can find more information about planting trees here.
