Ecological and sustainable packaging

Our eco-friendly and sustainable packaging refers to the use of materials and design practices that minimize the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of our product packaging. This includes considering factors such as regional material sourcing, production, use, and disposal, with the aim of reducing waste, conserving resources, promoting recycling, and minimizing pollution.

Below you will find some important principles and examples of the environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging we use:

Material selection: The use of materials that are renewable, recyclable, or biodegradable.

Examples include:

Bioplastics: These are made from renewable sources such as cornstarch, sugarcane, or cellulose. They can be compostable or easily recyclable.

Recycled materials: The use of recycled material in packaging reduces the need for new materials and helps to conserve resources and avoid waste.

Wood and paper-based packaging: Wood, paper and cardboard sourced from responsibly managed forests are renewable and recyclable.

Minimalism and appropriate sizing: Reducing packaging size and weight helps minimize resource consumption and transport emissions. Avoiding unnecessary layers and superfluous space, and using thinner materials, are effective strategies.

Packaging design: Innovative design can optimize material usage and offer functional advantages. Examples include:

Biodegradable packaging: The development of packaging that degrades naturally without leaving harmful residues can reduce waste and pollution.

Reusable packaging: Our organic packaging is made from either cardboard or wood, which can either be 100% recycled or reused.

Minimalist packaging: We focus on streamlining packaging by concentrating on the essentials and removing unnecessary components, such as excessive branding or inserts.

Our considerations regarding the supply chain: Sustainable packaging also includes considering the environmental impact at every stage of the supply chain, including transport and distribution. Shortening transport routes and optimizing packaging configurations should help to minimize emissions.

Consumer education: Educating consumers about proper disposal methods, recycling options and the importance of choosing products with sustainable packaging is intended to promote responsible behavior.

Circular economy approach: The circular economy approach promotes the reuse and recycling of packaging materials and reduces the need for new resources.

Life cycle assessment: Conducting a life cycle analysis of packaging helps us to holistically assess its environmental impact, taking into account factors such as energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and waste generation.

However, it is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and the choice of packaging must be context-specific. A holistic approach that combines multiple strategies and continuous improvements is essential for achieving environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging practices.

Therefore, we are all jointly called upon to promote, implement and adhere to these measures.
