Papier ist ein Kulturgut, das die Menschen seit über 2.000 Jahren kennen und schätzen. Auch in Zeiten der Digitalisierung bleibt es relevant. Um Wald und Klima zu schützen, ist es wichtig, neben einem sparsamen Umgang das Papier mit dem geringsten ökologischen Fußabdruck zu wählen: Recyclingpapier mit dem Blauen Engel.

We will also take the opportunity to inform them about the low-emission and low-pollutant building products certified with the Blue Angel that maintain a healthy home and ensure environmentally friendly construction and living.

Environmentally friendly writing is possible

Pens certified with the Blue Angel are not only produced from resource-conserving materials – i.e. from recycled or renewable raw materials. Selecting the right materials is an important way to conserve resources. One solution is to use recycled materials sourced from e.g. paper paperboard or plastic. The preferred option is to use recycled plastic (so-called post-consumer waste) sourced from private households, agriculture, trade and industry.

Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke: "We need a real turnaround in the way we deal with packaging. Consumption has been on the rise for years. The new obligation to offer reusable packaging can make a decisive contribution here. Many restaurants and cafés, but also caterers and canteens, already made the switch at an early stage. No one has to tolerate throwaway plastic for takeaway food or drinks any longer, because consumers now always have an environmentally friendly alternative. Reusable systems like "regood" work and offer great added value for the environment.

Whether as a pick-me-up in the morning or a highly anticipated moment of indulgence, coffee to go has become an indispensable part of everyday life for many consumers. People are also consuming an ever increasing amount of takeaway food in disposable packaging – whether it’s due to the growing popularity of delivery services or people buying food from the snack bar on the corner during their lunch break. But this all generates a large amount of waste, which is expensive to dispose of especially in public places.
