essence Sustainability

We take full responsibility for our planet. Recycling, waste prevention and the development of sustainable products are matters close to our hearts and important goals for us. Despite all our successes in these areas so far, we know that there is still a lot to do on the road to a sustainable future. That’s why we take our corporate responsibility very seriously.

Recycling

We conserve resources

Whenever possible, we use recycled material for our packaging. Then you will always find an indication on our product packaging that the packaging is made from recycled material. You can also help us be even more environmentally friendly by properly disposing of your empty products. We'll show you how.

Reduce Waste

The less waste we produce, the better it is for our environment. We are always looking for better ways to be more efficient with our raw materials and reduce waste in production.

Raw Materials

Know where what comes from

It is important to us to know where our raw materials and packaging materials come from and how they impact our planet, our health and society as a whole. That is why, for example, we look for partners who offer paper or palm oil from sustainably managed sources. We are a member of initiatives such as the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and the Responsible Mica Initiative (RMI).
