Sustainable products and packaging

Mission for sustainable, "eco-friendly" products

Some time ago, we started to systematically convert our product ranges to sustainable products. In a continuous improvement process, we review and evaluate important sustainability criteria, starting with the selection of raw materials, the product development process, transport and the use phase, right through to the recycling-friendly disposal of the products.
In doing so, we strive to reduce the ecological footprint of our product range step by step and, where possible, to sustainably reduce negative environmental impacts and unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions associated with that product.

We critically analyse all products using a comprehensive catalogue of sustainability criteria. We already apply strict standards and are constantly expanding our expertise in the field together with our production partners.

We focus on the following objectives:

Systematic switch to more sustainable packaging solutions

More sustainable packaging solutions are made possible by, among other things, switching to plastic-free packaging, prioritising recycled raw materials and using cardboard packaging from sustainable, certified forestry.

Since packaging only has a very short useful life and therefore a particularly poor environmental balance, we make sure that the materials we use are very recyclable. This means that our packaging can be easily recycled after use and is available again as a raw material for new packaging material.

Finally, we carefully analyse the transport routes of the raw materials used and avoid the longest possible transport routes in order to reduce CO₂ emissions further.

Systematic switch to more sustainable products

We also use recycled secondary raw materials for our products if they meet our high product safety requirements and our special quality standards. We pay attention to the efficient use of materials and develop high-quality and durable products to ensure a very long service life.

In order to accurately assess the impact on the climate and the environment, we plan to measure greenhouse gases consistently at product level and reduce them in a later step.

Short transport routes and the switch to more climate-friendly means of transport are also very important here.
