Sustainable packaging

Compatibility with the environment and health

The packaging must be able to withstand the effects of pressure, moisture or gas, to avoid a massive food waste. We care about our planet just as much as we do about our product.

We are pursuing two goals for the coming years:

1. Improving the recyclability of packaging

- Converting plastic packaging to recyclable mono-materials
- Testing the use of recycled plastic

 

2. Avoiding unnecessary packaging

Reducing or eliminating the use of paper, cardboard and plastic in primary and secondary packaging. Other accompanying measures are also planned:

Determination of the barrier properties of all our packages

Revision of the architecture of our packaging specifications and determination of key performance indicators

Establishment and maintenance of a legal tracking system

Here are some insteresting facts and figures:

Less is more

Particularly in the area of plastic foils, we have already succeeded in reducing material for several years. Wherever possible, we use cardboard instead of plastic foil. We also use thinner packaging foils - without reducing the protective effect for our products.

Since the end of 2023, all packaging materials for primary and secondary packaging made of paper and cardboard purchased directly by us and used at our production sites are FSC®-certified. FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) stands for products from forests that are responsibly managed according to strict ecological, social and economic standards.
