Our Sustainability Approach

For more than 100 years, recycled paper - a biodegradable material - has always been the primary raw material for our moulded fibre packaging.

Our production process requires energy for drying and handling the formed material, and we are strongly committed to reducing our CO2e emissions steered by our commitment to the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi).

While we are working intensively with all aspects of sustainability, ensuring a safe work environment and upholding human rights take priority at our facilities.

Turning waste into worth
For decades, our business has been based on recycling waste paper into biodegradable packaging products. As we align with the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi), our intensified focus on reducing carbon emissions goes hand in hand with our profound commitment to environmental stewardship, human rights, and workplace safety. We have also embarked on a comprehensive journey to assess our impact across the entire value chain, aiming to extend our high safety standards and improve our social impact.
