When talking about carbon footprint, it often refers to the CO₂ emissions of a product. This includes not only the materials but also the manufacturing, transportation, and disposal processes. To determine the carbon footprint of a product, we need an enormous amount of data. Let’s dive into the world of numbers together.
Surprising Facts: Paper packaging is not always more eco-friendly than plastic polybags, compostable films don’t belong in residential compost, and cotton has a higher carbon footprint than polyester. These surprising insights highlight the complex relationships between materials, production, and transportation. They not only influence our online selection and product suggestions but also our consulting and choice of transportation methods. Together, we can shape a sustainable product landscape and make a positive impact by raising awareness and promoting innovative solutions.
Our CO₂ emissions from imported products are relevant. But how does a ballpoint pen compare to a T-shirt? We don’t rely on intuition for our emissions calculations, 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 in our supply chain on a daily basis. This allows us to contribute to CO₂ impact and offer a climate-friendly added value – at no extra cost to you.
Many of us make eco-conscious decisions in our daily lives – whether it’s choosing regional foods or opting for a bag made from recycled PET. With us, you have the same opportunity: we offer sustainable alternatives, from notebooks made of recycled paper to locally produced items, and even toothbrushes made from sustainable wood. And if you’re missing a specific product, just ask us. Conscious and sustainable shopping becomes a breeze. All in line with our vision: «Creating sustainable emotions together».
