MORE CIRCULAR ECONOMY PROTECTING OUR CLIMATE.
Our product range enables a more genuine circular economy. Discover how Baseline boosts the circular economy and Circular360 closes the material loop completely. Like Recyclable, both categories are 100% recyclable and the material can thus be kept in the cycle.
1) Plastic plus color (masterbatch) and additives
2) PCR = post-consumer recyclate from unspecified sources e.g. from DE, F, DK, NL, AT, CH, NO, GB
3) PIR = post-industrial recyclate
4) New goods currently still required for functional reasons
*Result of a Fraunhofer study:
In terms of resource conservation, an average of 2.7 kg of plastic products can be created from 1 kg of new plastic over the usage cycles.
More climate protection through resource-saving products.
Circular360 - closing the loop
Circular360 products enable a product life cycle that never ends. From manufacture and use through to disposal and recycling, this product line focuses on climate protection and resource conservation in line with the PÖPPELMANN blue® initiative. We have already been able to completely close the material cycle for these plant pots.
For production, we almost exclusively use material from household recycling collections or other products that have already been used once. This results in a PCR plastic content of at least 80% of the total product. This has been scientifically proven by the "Blue Angel" and "RecyClass" quality seals. In addition, the products are proven to be 100% recyclable. This is proven by the cyclos-HTP certificate for this product category.
Baseline - supporting circularity
Baseline is our new resource-saving alternative to black pots that cannot be recycled in conventional recycling systems. This product category enables an easy entry into the circular economy. The baseline products consist largely of PCR as well as PIR. As with Circular360, we almost completely stop the use of virgin materials.
When disposing of waste via the Dual System, baseline fees must be paid.
100% recyclable. This has been confirmed by the cyclos-HTP institute. The material can therefore remain in the cycle and is available as a raw material for new PCR products.
Recyclable - promotes recycling
The pots in this product category are 100% recyclable when disposed of via the Dual System. This is confirmed by the cyclos-HTP Institute. This means they are also available as a raw material for the circular economy.
Depending on the requirements and functionality in practice, these are made from virgin material and/or recycled material.
OUR CLIMATE PROTECTION.
AWARDED AND CERTIFIED.
AWARDED AND CERTIFIED.
TEKU® pots from the Poeppelmann blue® initiative are certified with the Blue Angel for the use of recycled plastic (more than 80% post-consumer recyclate).
Thanks to a proportion of at least 80% post-consumer recyclate, our Circular360 products are now also certified by RecyClass.
Cyclos-certified TEKU® products are proven to be 100% recyclable via the German Dual System (DSD) and comparable European household recycling collections.
SBTi
The independent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) validated our climate targets in October 2023, confirming that they are in line with the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement. We are already actively working on many measures to achieve our targets.
For example, we are helping to reduce our Scope 2 emissions by adding solar powered systems on company-owned buildings (6,000 kWp by the end of 2024).
Our biggest lever for reducing Scope 3 emissions is the circular economy, as we use recycled materials to reduce emissions from the goods and services we purchase and recyclable design to reduce emissions from the end-of-life of products.
Climate protection company
In March 2023, Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke recognized us as a climate protection company for the consistent focus of our corporate strategy on climate protection and the circular economy. Since 2009, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce have been recognizing companies for their ambitious climate protection goals and efforts in energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies with this award.
The award is linked to inclusion in the Vorreiter-Initiative Klimaschutz-Unternehmen e. V. (Pioneer Initiative for Climate Protection Companies). This is an association of companies in Germany that play a pioneering role in climate protection and energy efficiency through the consistent implementation of outstanding innovations. They are characterized by ambitious goals for climate protection and energy efficiency, which are regularly analyzed and reviewed; the continuous improvement of energy-efficient production methods and internal company processes; future-oriented business models through innovative products and services that contribute to climate protection and active knowledge transfer through the provision of tried-and-tested climate protection solutions.
