Thoroughly packed & shipped
Innovative, forward-looking action is characteristic of Oli, including when it comes to packaging. Our oils are filled in 100% recyclable tinplate containers and shipped climate-neutrally. We use biodegradable packaging chips and bottles made from recycled PET to minimize our ecological footprint. Together with the Lebenshilfe workshop, which lovingly packs our sets, we are strengthening our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.
100% recyclable tinplate
We fill our OLI-NATURA oils & waxes in recyclable tinplate containers. Tinplate is 100% recyclable and the material with the highest recycling rate. It can be recycled infinitely often without any loss of quality. In Germany, more than 90% of all tinplate packaging is already recycled. Completely emptied tinplate containers should therefore always be disposed of in the yellow recycling bin or yellow recycling bag.
Bottles made from rPET
As much as we would like to, we cannot yet do without plastic entirely. Fortunately, sustainable alternatives enable us to use the advantages of plastic as a packaging material without placing unnecessary strain on the environment. One such alternative is recycled PET, or rPET for short, a raw material made from used and reprocessed PET bottles. PET can be easily recycled. For our 1-liter bottles, we have switched to the more environmentally and climate-friendly rPET. These recycled rPET bottles have a slightly different color than conventional PET bottles and are not quite as clear. At the end of their respective service life, products made from rPET can be 100% recycled and processed into a new item.
Second-life boxes & bio chips
To keep packaging waste as low as possible and conserve resources, we are happy to reuse intact boxes two or three times. Discarded boxes are recycled as waste paper or put through our cardboard shredder.
As filling material, we are currently switching from the environmentally friendly "Flo-Pak green" to the bio packaging chips “Flo-Pak The Clean Bio One Natural”, which are made from 100% natural raw materials such as air, water, and vegetable starch. These chips can be reused multiple times, are 100% recyclable, free from artificial colorants, and water-soluble. As they are biodegradable, they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way via the organic waste bin, compost, or wastewater. On contact with water, the bio chips dissolve completely. In addition, the “Flo-Pak The Clean Bio One Natural” chips are certified according to EN 13432, confirming their ecological biodegradability and sustainability and further highlighting their environmental friendliness.
Packed with love for you
We are extremely grateful for the valuable support and helping hands of the wonderful people at the neighboring LEBENSHILFE WORKSHOP. With exceptional care and attention to detail, they pack our sets - from care sets and pad sets to tool boxes. Their work goes far beyond manual labor and is a welcome support for us. Every set packed at the LEBENSHILFE WORKSHOP bears the loving sticker: “PACKED WITH LOVE FOR YOU - LEBENSHILFE WORKSHOP.
GoGreen shipping
We ship orders climate-neutrally. Through our DHL GoGreen shipping service, climate projects are supported to offset the resulting CO2- emissions. Orders are collected from us only once a day, saving CO2 right from the start.
The long-term perspective
Everything we do affects our environment as well as the people and animals who live in it. As a company, we are aware of the impact of our actions and strive to proactively and continuously move toward greater sustainability. Our goal is to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. Our product range is environmentally friendly; we stopped developing solvent-based coatings some time ago. We also make every effort with our packaging to strike the right balance between “too much and too little.” Too much packaging material irritates some people, while too little can result in products being damaged and returned. Despite our efforts, there is always room for improvement. The path to sustainability is long and full of challenges - a journey without an endpoint, but with many important milestones.
