Every product has different requirements for packaging. Whether high protection against moisture, UV, oxygen or high stability for heavy products. In our range we have a suitable & sustainable packaging solution for you!
Due to the low weight and the reduced use of resources during production, pouches consume up to 60% less CO2 in its life cycle (compared to jars and cans).
Traditional packaging made from various layers of materials (known as "multimaterials") is not recyclable, leading to wasted resources and significantly increased CO2 emissions. That's why we opt for recyclable packaging made from monoplastics.
For our paper solutions, we use sustainable paper sourced from FSC®-certified forestry. All production steps take place exclusively within the EU, with quality, transparency, and the establishment of genuinely eco-friendly packaging being our top priorities. Together with you, we protect the environment and promote the circular economy.
The best thing: all our packaging materials are demonstrably suitable for food packaging!

Does your packaging not only have to be sustainable, but also beautiful? Take a look at your packaging samples, try out your product and see for yourself!
A straight answer to a straight question: Environmentally friendly packaging solutions are the key to conserving our resources and responsibly packaging products. As the demand for packaging continues to rise, so does the criticism of the global growth of packaging waste. However, completely eliminating packaging is not a universal solution and can lead to faster spoilage and increased waste, especially for sensitive food items.
We aim to address our global packaging problem through circular solutions and transparent education about materials in the long term. Our approach to packaging solutions follows the principles of a circular economy, where resources can be used multiple times. This requires good recyclability of our materials, as secondary raw materials can only be used to manufacture new products if they can be effectively recycled.
By producing locally in Europe, we try to reduce transport and the associated CO² emissions. Advantage for you: Higher delivery reliability due to less bureaucracy.
For the greatest possible contribution to a functioning circular economy, we have our plastic packaging "Martha" and "Toni" examined by the environmental experts at Interzero for their recyclability and confirmed with the recognized "Made for Recycling" seal. By the way: You can print the seal with just one click on your packaging - a significant added value for your sustainability communication!
For the production of our paper-based packaging "Robin", we place special emphasis on the sustainability of the wood used. The paper for our packaging solutions is FSC®-certified and comes exclusively from regions that have been audited by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), an international non-profit organization, and meet the strict requirements of sustainable forestry.
Our packaging "Ben" is based on renewable (biobased) resources, thereby reducing the use of conventional petroleum-based plastics. This reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, leads to fewer additional CO2 emissions, and promotes the biological circular economy. The biobased content of the packaging is tested by the reputable TÜV Austria and certified with the "OK biobased" seal. With this seal, your customers will know how environmentally friendly and innovative your packaging is.
Our packaging is exclusively produced in Europe. This allows us to save significant amounts of CO2 emissions on transportation
Biobased packaging has the advantage of being made from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane, which reduces additional CO2 emissions compared to conventional plastic packaging.
However, not all biobased packaging is automatically sustainable. For example, if they consist of multiple layers of different materials (e.g., plastic/paper composites), they may not be recyclable and will be sorted out and incinerated.
As for biodegradable and compostable plastics (often made from PLA), there is currently no recycling stream, so they must be disposed of in regular waste.
The belief that paper is always more sustainable than plastic is a myth. When assessing packaging, various factors must always be considered. The production of paper also consumes resources and is energy-intensive. Additionally, paper can only be effectively recycled when it is not tightly bonded with other material layers (e.g., aluminum). Unfortunately, this is often the case with milk cartons, for example.
Optimized packagings are, in the context of a circular economy, always recyclable. Because if materials are not recycled, the resources cannot be used for other products after their single use.
As your packaging partner, we not only consider it our responsibility to offer eco-friendly packaging but also to educate about myths and greenwashing in the packaging world, such as the topic of plastic-free packaging.
For this reason, we are more than happy to support you in credible and transparent sustainability communication. In addition to providing our Sustainability Guides, we are also open to conducting communication collaborations together to inform your customers about the sustainability of your packaging. Just let us know, and we'll be glad to assist!
Renowned seals and certifications can provide you and your customers with a good indication of which packaging is sustainable. With just a glance, you can recognize whether a packaging, for example, comes from sustainable forestry (e.g., our materials Robin and Ben with FSC® certification) or is recyclable (e.g., our materials "Martha" and "Toni" with the Made for Recycling seal).
