Heart warming

The optimisation of our packaging units and materials is a continuous process. We use fibre-based packaging made of renewable raw materials to gradually reduce the use of plastic foil. Furthermore, we already do without outer cartons.

We are optimising our packaging materials with regard to waste. The idea here is to make our material consumption more transparent. For that reason we are urgently developing a packaging process with a cardboard cutting machine for made-to-measure cardboard packaging. The resulting simplified handling reduces the workload of our employees.

We are aware of the immense environmental pollution caused by polystyrene.

Polystyrene is made from the non-renewable raw material crude oil. Polystyrene waste lasts for hundreds of years, so it is not biologically degradable. German industry alone uses around 730,000 tonnes of polystyrene every year, corresponding to approx. 100,000 unladen HGVs. (Source: Kunststoffabfälle | Umweltbundesamt, 2021).

For that reason we completely forego the use of this material in our production.

We continue to develop constantly.

We have put our plan into practice and now source a large proportion of the wadding from our own production. We collect the offcuts from manufacturing and then add them to the wadding production proportionately. Since starting out at the end of 2024, we now produce 64% ourselves. This enables us to partially recycle and permanently reduce waste.

We are gradually developing towards a more resource-friendly production process.
