Recycling our packaging material
Recycling our
Packaging Material
Because environmental protection doesn't end at the workshop door – how we package, what we think about it, and what you can do with the material.
Sustainable from start to finish 🌿
Untreated spruce wood, handcrafted in Düsseldorf – that's the core of our products. But for us, sustainability doesn't stop at the product. We also think consciously about our packaging: as little as necessary, as secure as possible, as environmentally friendly as we can make it. And we want to invite you to participate.

since our founding, we've been thinking sustainably about packaging
What's in your package?
We'll explain exactly what we use – and where it belongs after unpacking.
Cardboard & Corrugated Cardboard
♻️ Blue BinOur outer cartons are made from recycled corrugated cardboard and are 100% recyclable themselves. Depending on the product size, we use sturdy single or double-wall corrugated cardboard.
Packing Paper
♻️ Blue BinWe use packing paper as cushioning material – a plastic-free, fully recyclable alternative. It safely protects your products during transit.
Bubble Wrap
⚠️ Yellow BagWe use bubble wrap exclusively for our "Kühloasen" (cooling oases) – to reliably protect the delicate ceramic tile from breakage during transport. For this, it is simply indispensable for safe delivery.
Adhesive Tape & Labels
🗑️ General WasteAdhesive tape and shipping labels are the only non-recyclable part of our packaging. Therefore, we only use as much as necessary for a secure seal.
What you can do with the packaging material
Reuse or recycle cardboard
Our sturdy cardboard boxes are perfect for regifting or for your own packages. If you don't need them anymore: fold them flat, remove the tape, and put them in the blue bin.
Reuse packing paper multiple times
Packing paper can be wonderfully reused – for wrapping gifts, as craft material for children, or for covering flower pots. Afterwards, it goes into the waste paper bin.
Reuse bubble wrap multiple times
If bubble wrap arrives in your package – e.g., when shipping a "Kühloase" – feel free to reuse it multiple times. It's great for protecting other fragile items. Afterwards, dispose of it in the yellow bag.
Remove tape & labels
Before disposing of the cardboard, remove tape and labels – this may seem minor, but it significantly improves recycling quality and helps recover more raw materials.
Our promise to the environment 💚
We are a small family business – and we know that even small steps count. This is what we promise you:
We are not yet perfect – but we are working every day to get better.
Do even more for the environment
Place a bulk order
Ordering multiple products at once saves packaging material and shipping routes – and gets you to the free shipping limit faster!
PipiPads instead of bedding
PipiPads save many kilos of packaging waste and bedding waste annually. A small change with a real impact on people, animals, and the environment.
Regift packaging
Our sturdy cardboard boxes are great as shipping boxes for your own packages. Simply cover the labels and reuse them!
