Working conditions and sustainability throughout the product lifecycle are very important to us. Here we provide you with an overview of some of the points where we pay attention to corporate social responsibility in our company.
less plastic
All of our shipped products are sent without additional plastic individual packaging or are shipped in 100% recycled plastic. This saves a significant amount of PVC waste. The import shipping bags from abroad are also made from recycled plastic, and the products are not individually packaged in plastic (or other materials).
transport in germany
All our national and international shipments are CO2-neutral (CO2 consumption is offset) and every order in our shop supports global climate projects. We achieve this through the "GoGreen" service provided by DHL that we use and book. With a small surcharge of 3 or 5 cents, none of our shipments leave a climate footprint.

production in germany
All products produced in Germany have been refined, labeled, and printed with 100% ecologically generated electricity. No solvents are released into the wastewater during the printing process. Cleaning cloths are cleaned and processed. The cleaning agents are low in pollutants, fragrance-free, and biodegradable. Only water-based adhesives are used. All printing inks used from the manufacturer FUJIFILM Sericol Deutschland GmbH are: free of phthalates, free of lead and heavy metals, solvent-free, free of benzoid hydrocarbons, and free of carcinogenic chemicals.
production overseas
We produce raw materials and refined products in Germany, Turkey, and China. Some of our products are even certified by the Fair Wear Foundation, which verifies them for organic materials and fair trade.
The working conditions (wages, workspaces, weekly hours) of our manufacturers abroad are solid and aligned with European standards.

transport overseas
We transport goods from abroad exclusively by train. This is by far the greenest alternative for transporting goods. (Source: EEA, ff: https://www.eea.europa.eu/highlights/motorised-transport-train-plane-road ) Each train saves 80-100% CO2 compared to road transport. (Source: DHL.de, ff: https://www.dhl.de/de/geschaeftskunden/paket/rund-um-den-versand/dhl-nachhaltigkeit-gk.html ) All products are sent to us vacuum-packed to reduce packaging volume and thus ensure greater efficiency.
