NACHHALTIG UND RECYCELBAR

The bottle is made of 60% recycled glass.

The outer packaging is made of certified paper from sustainable forestry or recycled paper and is vegan. Climate neutral with FSC certification as well as WPV Code of Conduct certified. Only vegan and food safe adhesives are used.

The lid and safety cap of our polishes is made of lignin. Lignin consists of bio-polymers made from natural fibres and natural additives and is a by-product of industry. It is produced worldwide at a rate of approximately 50 million tonnes per year. The lid can be put in the green bin. In the industrial composting plant, decomposition takes place through the addition of microorganisms and their enzymes. Composting contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases.

IMPORTANT: before the lid ends up in the green bin, be sure to lift out the brush and peel off the label because these are not compostable!

The brushes are made of vegan, synthetically produced brush hairs and webs of bio-based polyamides.

All colours are food safe. Mineral oil-, soy- and hazardous substance-free (bio-) printing inks based on vegetable oil from sustainable cultivation.
