Generally

When you buy goods from us, you're supporting people who want to shape the world for the better. This means your money won't finance flashy cars, cruises, overpriced software, or fully automated, deserted workplaces. We describe projects we're involved in with idealistic motives in our blog posts. (Still in development...)

Useful products

The more ecologically sound products that come onto the market, the better. We stand for less waste, recyclable materials, and durable products. Finding alternatives to short-lived plastic products is one of our main concerns. We would be grateful for any helpful tips.

Price-performance ratio

Our prices are attractive, even by international standards. We've set them low in the belief that lower prices lead to wider distribution, and the self-explanatory brand also fosters new growth for the idea behind our products.

Environmentally friendly packaging

Cardboard and paper have some of the best recycling rates. Ideally, deliveries would be unpackaged. That's why we're big advocates of packaging-free stores and also have many related products. Since we ship our goods with the parcel service Post, we rely on cardboard boxes. We buy these used, but in as good as new condition. Our recyclability philosophy doesn't end with packaging. We protect robust products (e.g., bamboo boards) with recycled filler paper. We protect delicate products (e.g., glassware) with corrugated cardboard, jute, or cotton bags. Our goal is to give our waste-averse customers a say in how our products are packaged. This means: If you don't already use cloth bags for shopping, you can choose a cloth bag instead of paper. If you already have enough cloth bags, you can opt for the recycled paper version. And if you have any good ideas on how we can package our products even more safely and environmentally friendly in the future, we'd be grateful for any tips.
