Unfortunately, this product does not score highly in any of our sustainable manufacturing criteria. This does not mean that the product is not sustainable in general, but we believe that there is potential for greater sustainability in the area of ​​manufacturing. Manufacturing is an essential step in the life cycle of a product.

A major challenge for sustainability is the integration of products into the biological and technical cycle (cradle to cradle). It is important here whether a product is recyclable, biodegradable or compostable industrially or at home. We also view it positively if the manufacturer offers a return system for the product and returns it back into the cycle themselves.
