Waste Disposal/Packaging

The packaging statute enacted in 1991 introduced a further necessary step in terms of protecting our resources of raw materials.

Since that time, it has been possible to reduce the volume of packaging material by over 50% in some cases. Polystyrene and plastic are now used for transport only in very exceptional cases.

All the materials we use are recyclable, e.g. our transport pallets, which are mostly made of cardboard. All transport packaging used is immediately taken back again by our solution centres and passed on to collecting companies.
