Saving on single-use plastic
Together with our customers, we save around 950 tons of single-use plastic every year by using GLASKLAR bottles that can be refilled again and again.
Sustainable products
GLASKLAR bottles are 100% recyclable and are printed using a durable screen printing process. This guarantees users unlimited use – refillable again and again – without any loss of quality.
This quality saves up to 4 bottles per user in a year and their production plus the savings on printing, transportation and packaging.
The cleaning fluid consists of 100% natural ingredients, without fragrances or colorants. The high concentration saves CO2 during shipping and reduces your storage capacity.
GLASKLAR manufactures its own products without imports from non-EU countries or low-wage countries (e.g. Asia)!
This results in high CO2 savings, protects the environment and conserves increasingly scarce resources.
PET bottles vs. glass
PET is more sustainable than glass because:
PET bottles
are produced at 240-260 degreesGlass bottles
are produced at 1400-1600 degrees with a much higher energy consumption. This process also causes the release of pollutants.
PET bottles
have a very low weightGlass bottles
increases transportation costs and logistics costs due to its higher weight
PET bottles
are particularly resistant, e.g. to impacts and fallsGlass bottles
are much more sensitive – they are susceptible to breakage, less suitable for everyday use and require more care when handling and transporting.
GLASKLAR PET bottles are used again and again, are very durable and robust – a more positive energy balance than glass.
Sustainable production
The basic prerequisite for sustainability is in-house production – with 100% green electricity, of course!
Your advantage: shortest delivery times. The GLASKLAR team also works with qualified process optimizations, for example.
The internal movement of goods between the locations takes place exclusively via rotating reusable crates.
Shipping & packaging
When it comes to holistic corporate management with regard to sustainability,
also focuses on this area.
The fluid is supplied in bottles made from 98% recycled material (RPET), for example.
From the cardboard boxes to the adhesive tapes, all components are made from recycled paper.
At the same time, we reuse packaging material from our suppliers.
Another step on the road to greater sustainability!
Social responsibility
The goals of the three-dimensional sustainability model include the social aspect alongside the environmental and economic aspects.
For GLASKLAR, as a second-generation family business, this is part of its DNA.
The close, familial bond of the team is not only evident at exuberant celebrations, but also in daily interaction. Flat hierarchies, consideration and respectful interaction are the reason for long company affiliations – including add-ons such as company bicycles and health insurance.
Supporting local projects such as “Hits FÜRS HOSPIZ” is an integral part of our diverse social commitment. The upcycling of old trade fair fabrics into new bags also takes place in a workshop for people with disabilities.
At the same time, GLASKLAR maintains long-standing, friendly cooperation with its customers and suppliers.
