Climate and environmental protection are very important to us.

By digitizing our data without printing it, we have been able to reduce our paper requirements by 75% annually. This not only saves trees, but also uses much less energy and toner. All of these measures are an important partial success for us and help us achieve our goal of paperless offices. We use the incorrectly printed paper as note paper or for painting and crafts for our children and then recycle it.

A big problem these days is waste caused by packaging. That's why we're taking a new step and trying to buy and sell as many packaging-free products as possible. We sometimes unpack the products and recycle the packaging materials. The advantage is clear. This means our customers aren't inundated with huge amounts of packaging material and the mountains of waste are smaller. Some of our customers praised our "products without packaging" concept, others found it strange and were less enthusiastic.

We sometimes have to include filling material in our packages, otherwise it would not be possible to transport them through the post office without causing damage to the products. That's why we get used polystyrene discs (Sagex) from other shops, cut them to size and fill our packages with this filling material. This allows us to give the polystyrene a second cycle without having to produce new ones. Of course, other filling materials such as tissue paper, bubble wrap and plastic bags are also reused to save resources.

By using energy-saving lamps and devices and of course by digitizing our data and working more efficiently, we can reduce energy consumption by 27% annually. This is not only good for our budget, but also has a positive effect on the environment.
