Go Green:
Our emission tool in the spotlight.

Carbon footprint:
Now it's time to get down to business.

When we talk about carbon footprint, we are often referring to theCO2 emissions of a product. In addition to the material, this also includes production, transportation and disposal. To find out which product generates which carbon footprint, we need a huge amount of data. Let’s dive into the world of numbers together.

Wow:
Would you have thought it?

Suprising Facts: Paper packaging is not always more ecological than plastic polybags, compostable films do not belong in municipal compost and cotton has a higher CO2 footprint than polyester. These surprising findings illustrate the complex relationships between materials, production and transportation. They not only influence our online range and product suggestions, but also our advice and choice of transportation. Together, we can shape the product landscape sustainably and provide positive impetus by educating people and promoting innovative solutions.

Our CO2 emissions from imported products are relevant. But how does a ballpoint pen compare to a T-shirt? When calculating our emissions, we don’t rely on intuition, but on hard scientific facts. With Ecoinvent data, we offer a comprehensive overview from materials to disposal. Thanks to our emissions tool, developed with Intep and validated by myclimate, we evaluate the CO2 emissions of our supply chain on a daily basis. In this way, we contribute to the CO2 impact and offer climate-friendly added value – at no additional cost to you.

Sustainable promotional items:
A piece of cake.

Many of us make environmentally conscious decisions in our everyday lives – whether it’s choosing regional food or choosing a bag made from recycled PET. With us, you have the same option: we offer sustainable alternatives, from notebooks made from recycled paper to locally produced products and toothbrushes made from sustainable wood. And if you are missing a specific product: Just ask us. This makes conscious and sustainable shopping child’s play. True to our vision: “Creating sustainable emotions together”

Environmental protection has been on our minds ever since bb trading was founded. For more than 20 years, we have been distributing our promotional products as environmentally consciously as possible. Find out more about our sustainability initiatives here:
