More for recycling
83.1% of our waste ...
… gets recycled. But we want more!
Packaging and recycling
Less plastic is not enough for us
Packaging: do we really need all that? Admittedly, we can’t completely do without plastic either. But we are working on making our packaging better. For us, less plastic is only the first step: we want more! And we can only achieve that with you.
Our goal: more recycling, less packaging
Our motto: as little packaging as possible, as much as necessary. That’s why we avoid or reduce packaging wherever we can. If we cannot avoid packaging, such as with our drinks bottles, we rely on recycling.
By 2025…
... we will save 5% of the packaging material used for our own brands.
... 60% of the packaging of our own brands should be made from renewable raw materials.
... 50% of the packaging of our own brands should be made of recycled materials.
