Every one of us leaves a carbon footprint. At groku, we have long pursued the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a minimum. As an ISO 50001 certified company, we are working to get better every day. We plan to meet the European Green Deal targets and be carbon neutral by 2050.
Everyone wants it, we already have it: our packaging buckets are 100% recyclable and improve the material stream from the waste collection (for recyclable materials). Of course, you will also receive a corresponding climate protection certificate from us. Promised.
This is where the groku green loop comes in: As a customer, you can already find millions of our post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging buckets on the market. Look out for the grey packaging buckets and make sure that these are recycled packaging made from post-consumer recyclate (PCR)! Then you are buying ecologically correct.
groku always pays attention to comprehensible and transparent processes. A mass balance kept by groku Kunststoffe in its ERP system to ensure full traceability of all raw materials used contains all input and output material flows and shows precisely which percentage of recycled material was used for each final product. This process was successfully audited by TÜV NORD CERT GmbH, an approved certification body for the REDcert² chemicals system.
Our goal is clearly set: climate neutrality well before 2050! We have already taken this path and will initiate the next activities along the European Green Deal. We will keep you informed about what is being implemented or planned next.
A bucket is versatile and after its first use, it often finds a secondary use as a storage container for gardening or as a plain DIY utensil. If you no longer have a use for it, put it in the designated plastic waste containers or hand it in at the recycling centre. This puts the bucket back into the recycling loop and saves valuable primary raw materials. As a side effect, you will reduce your personal carbon footprint.
The current debate about recycled packaging and more sustainability helps us a lot, because that is how we make ourselves heard by our customers and the end consumer. We want to try to raise awareness and inform our customers in greater detail about the benefits of recycled packaging. Just follow our blog on Linkedin.
More and more customers and consumers are opting for reusable packaging, and increasingly so with groku buckets. We have a solution for your needs as well. Help us to use raw materials efficiently and to close the loop!
