We've made a significant shift by replacing traditional plastic bags with a long-lasting fabric net. We hope you will use this fabric bag again and again to play your part in minimizing the use of plastic bags, especially during your shopping trips.
To ensure that our packaging is made from sustainable materials, we use an FSC-certified supplier.
FSC is a labeling scheme for wood and paper. In short, the certificate means that in an FSC forest, no more trees are felled than the forest can reproduce. Moreover, the label ensures that plant and animal life is protected, and the people working in forest management are provided with proper working conditions. In this way, FSC also guarantees social responsibility towards the local population in the areas. FSC is presented in more than 100 countries and is supported by several major environmental organizations.
When you buy from Aktiv Guld, we use eco-friendly packaging for 90% of your items. This packaging is biodegradable, made from corn, and contains no plastic or harmful chemicals. It can be composted, so there's no need to burn it after use.
For the remaining 10% of packages, we're keeping an eye on new eco-friendly options. As soon as we find a secure solution, we'll switch to eco-friendly packaging for all our products.
The eco-friendly packaging filling is produced in Denmark.
Our magazine The Fair is a Cradle-to-Cradle certified product. This means that it is 100% biodegradable and containing no harmful chemicals or heavy metals.
