Award-winning: Blue Angel and German Ecodesign Award for sanitary paper innovation

Up to now, recycled toilet paper has been made from graphic waste paper. This not only needs to be laboriously cleaned before being reused but is also becoming increasingly scarce due to digitalisation.

WEPA is making the most of the fact that, alongside this, online shopping is generating more and more waste paper from packaging, and has developed the first sanitary paper made from recycled cardboard packaging and corrugated cardboard. This innovation was awarded not only the Blue Angel but also the German Ecodesign Award – presented by Minister for the Environment Steffi Lemke.

The competition for the German Ecodesign Award is now restarting!

If you would like to apply for the German Ecodesign Award in 2024 as a Blue Angel company, you can do so by 15 April 2024.
