After each clean-up campaign, the rubbish is collected by the Abfallwirtschaftsbetriebe Köln GmbH (AWB) and disposed of properly. Some materials can be recycled. If this is not the case, the waste must be thermally recycled, i.e. incinerated. As a packaging company, we can unfortunately only influence to a limited extent whether citizens throw their waste into nature or not.

What we can do, however, is ensure that our packaging is designed to be completely recyclable, so that it can be reprocessed into high-quality recyclate after recycling. This means that the raw materials remain in the material cycle and can be used for new products. Of course, we have had the recyclability of our plastic packaging checked by the independent environmental and recycling service provider interseroh.

For every order of our packaging "Toni" and "Martha" in our shop, we donate an amount of 5 euros. In addition, we also regularly support clean-up work ourselves and are sponsors of the "Rheinfalle".
