Disposable packaging is inefficient and consumes a lot of resources
causes a lot of waste​​​
must always be bought and disposed of again
is unpopular with customers
consumes a lot of resources such as water, energy and wood during production - despite recycling!

Reducing waste and COâ‚‚-emissions
Calculation example: Better environmental impact
In this example, based on the study by Steyr University of Applied Sciences, we use the hey circle Box XL with environmentally friendly insulation material made from cellulose insulation.
The box is reused 50 times, the insulation 5 times. Compared to a disposable box and one-time use of the insulation material, the shipper saves money:
83 %
CO2 emissions
80 %
Waste
