Content of the toolkit

  • Development of an effective plastic management system: The toolkit contains important information and practical tips on how to successfully and effectively set up a plastic management system in your own company.

  • More sustainable alternatives: Interested parties will not only find an overview of more sustainable alternatives for common plastic products in the toolkit, but can also use the sustainability index to see how sustainable the individual alternatives really are.

  • Plastic waste separation and recycling: What do I do with unavoidable single-use plastic products? The toolkit provides tips on how to effectively separate waste and thus increase the recycling rate.

  • Motivation of guests and employees: The best measures are useless if employees and guests are not aware of them or do not support them. The toolkit therefore provides tips on how to inform employees and guests and, above all, motivate them to support the commitment to sustainability.

  • Practical tools and best practice examples: In addition, the digital toolkit contains supporting materials such as practical instructions for the implementation of reusable products, an overview of more sustainable alternatives or so-called “decision trees”, which provide practical help with implementation.
