Go Green:
Our emissions tool in the spotlight.
Carbon footprint:
Let’s get into the details.
When we talk about a carbon footprint, we are often referring to the CO₂ emissions generated by a product. This includes not only the materials, but also manufacturing, transportation, and disposal. To determine the carbon footprint of each product, we need a huge amount of data. Let’s dive into the world of numbers together.
Wow:
Would you have guessed?
Surprising facts: paper packaging is not always more environmentally friendly than plastic poly bags, compostable films do not belong in household compost, and cotton has a higher carbon footprint than polyester. These surprising findings highlight the complex relationships between materials, manufacturing, and transportation. They influence not only our online assortment and product recommendations, but also our consulting and choice of transportation methods. Together, we can help shape the product landscape more sustainably and create positive impact by raising awareness and promoting innovative solutions.
Our CO₂ emissions from imported products are significant. But how does a ballpoint pen compare with a T-shirt? When calculating our emissions, we don’t rely on intuition – we rely on hard scientific data. Using Ecoinvent data, we provide a comprehensive overview ranging from materials to disposal. With our emissions tool, developed in collaboration with Intep and validated by myclimate, we assess the CO₂ emissions of our supply chain every day. This allows us to help reduce our carbon impact while offering added climate-friendly value – at no additional cost to you.

You have the same opportunity with us: we offer sustainable alternatives, from notebooks made from recycled paper and locally produced products to toothbrushes made from sustainably sourced wood. And if you’re missing a specific product, just ask us. This makes conscious, sustainable shopping easy. True to our vision: «Creating sustainable emotions together».
