About Botiboton
Botiboton's beginnings date back to 1947, and we are now in our third generation, with many changes since we started!
Here is a brief summary of our history:
WHO - The company was founded by Jaume Torrents under the name Injectats IMI SL in 1947. After his death, his daughter Margarita Torrents and her husband Francisco Mollon took over for more than 30 years, and then their daughter Mònica took over, where she remains today.
WHERE - The first factory was located on Calle Valencia in Barcelona, later moving to Calle Dos de Mayo, and finally relocating permanently to Sant Feliu de Llobregat in search of larger facilities.
WHAT - The initial activity was the manufacture of injected buttons, developing specific machinery for this purpose, such as an automatic machine for sharpening pencil-shaped buttons 😊.
Over time, in addition to continuing to manufacture injection-molded buttons, the range of injection-molded items was expanded to include the manufacture of accessories for clothing, such as cord stoppers and terminals and buckles.
THE DETAIL THAT HIGHLIGHTS
Where we are today
In 2019, with the global trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly materials, we created the Ecoboton brand to bring together all buttons made from natural, recyclable, or biodegradable materials under one umbrella. We created a new website focused solely on eco-friendly products, which has enabled us to sell small quantities to end customers, a new sector we had not previously explored.
In 2022, we decided to make a double commitment to sustainable manufacturing by following the sustainable and eco-friendly line and installing solar panels, thus becoming virtually self-sufficient during production.
In our factory, we have created a closed-loop production recovery system, which means we generate zero plastic waste during the manufacturing process.
In 2022, we began our presence at craft fairs, participating in: Hand Made BCN, Creativa Barcelona, Love Yarn Madrid (2023), as we saw a need to get closer to consumers, which has been very enriching and has allowed us to get to know you very well and understand your needs.

The commitments of Ecoboton
Plastic in products Ecoboton
they leave no trace
Being very aware of the impact of plastics on our planet and the waste they generate Ecoboton we have put in place two lines of action.
1/ All products manufactured in our facilities generate 0% plastic waste, as the material used contains 45% recovered plastic material.
Plastic that comes from the same manufacturing process, as part of a circular recycling. The material comes from the same production as our factory in St. Petersburg. Feliu de Llobregat, where it is milled and prepared for reuse, thus reducing the use of new material.
Generating a 100% clean manufacturing.
2/ Plastic in the sea is a major source of pollution in our oceans. As part of our sustainability project, we can manufacture with Recycled Marine Nylon. It's a material that's purchased from companies that specialize in cleaning up seas and oceans, that collects plastic from the sea, sorts it and processes it so it can be reused.
By using marine plastic in our buttons, we're helping to reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans, and at the same time creating unique, environmentally friendly products.
All the buttons of Ecoboton are manufactured to the same high quality standards as other products. Not only will you be wearing eco-friendly buttons, but you will also be collaborating in the fight against the pollution of our oceans.
