Supplementary notes
- Our Goal: We are continuously working to increase recycled content quotas to proactively support the requirements of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
- Circular Economy We encourage you to keep packaging components in circulation for as long as possible. Our air cushion bags, cardboard boxes, and pallets, in particular, are ideally suited for multiple uses.
- Separation For optimal recycling, please separate materials properly (e.g., remove plastic bands from cardboard boxes).
