Recycled and Recyclable Packaging at billerbeck
We have high standards for our packaging. It is designed to protect our bedding products reliably, present them attractively and integrate efficiently into our transport and logistics processes.
Our packaging team continuously develops existing packaging solutions. This includes reviewing material use, opportunities for reuse and the use of recycled and recyclable materials.
We put our love for the environment into every bag: 100% Recyclable Carrying Bags for billerbeck Duvets and Pillows
Our duvets and pillows are packed in functional carrying bags. The bags are made entirely from recyclable materials and, according to the available technical information, are 100% recyclable.
In addition to protecting the bedding products, the bags are designed for multiple use. They are suitable both for transport and for the later storage of duvets, pillows and other textiles. The integrated viewing window provides a quick overview of the contents.
Packaging Made from Recycled Material
In addition to recyclable packaging, we already use recycled material for selected product packaging.
For products from our Swiss Dream brand, for example, we use boxes made from up to 80% recycled material.
For our cardboard packaging, we work with regional printing companies, among others. When selecting our packaging partners, we consider not only quality and functionality but also specific requirements relating to materials and production. Information on the proportion of recycled material always refers to the specific packaging and the technical information available for it.
Reuse and Recycling of Packaging
Suitable used cardboard boxes are collected at billerbeck and reused for further transport purposes.
Other transport packaging is sent for reuse or recycling according to the type of material and the available recovery routes. This means that suitable packaging materials remain in use for longer or can be recycled after use.
Recycling of Transport Packaging
By reusing and recycling transport packaging, billerbeck systematically records material flows and directs them towards further use or recovery.
According to the underlying operational calculations, this currently results in annual savings of up to 375 tonnes of resources and 46,785 kg of greenhouse gas emissions.
These figures relate to the material flows, calculation methods and reference periods used as the basis for the calculation.
Avoiding Additional Plastic Outer Packaging
By using a fine-dust filtration system, we are able to avoid additional plastic outer packaging for the relevant bedding products.
The filtration system helps maintain the required conditions for clean processing and packaging of the products.
This means that no additional plastic outer packaging is required for these products.
