  • The new gray cartridges consist of at least 40% recycled plastic

3 facts about the new recyclate cartridge

 Turning old into new

 Recyclate cartridges made from at least 40 % recycled material

Thinking about the future today

1 tonne of recyclate saves approx. 1.45 tonnes of CO2*

Same product composition, same quality

 Proven OTTO quality thanks to extensive testing

 

Saving around 32 tonnes of CO2 in 2024 if 1.5 million cartridges with at least 40% recycled content are produced

The expected CO2 savings in 2024 correspond to:

281

 train journeys on the Trans-Siberian Railway (261000 km)

19

times the annual electricity consumption of a 4-person household

144

 car journeys from Munich to Lisbon (petrol)

261

economy flights from Munich to Berlin

Plastic - a valuable material

 Lightweight, durable and versatile: plastics have become an integral part of our everyday lives. Around 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced every year.

 However, plastic presents us with a major environmental problem: it takes 450 years to completely degrade. For this reason, it is important to extend the life cycle of plastics that have already been produced. Recycling used plastic and returning it to the circular economy conserves resources and reduces waste.

Bringing used plastic back into the cycle

One way to recycle plastics is to utilise post-consumer waste. This means processing packaging materials such as PET bottles, plastic packaging, etc. that are properly disposed of / recycled by the end consumer.

The material obtained this way is called recyclate. The recyclate is used as flakes, regrind or granulate in the manufacture of new plastic products.

OTTO's sustainability strategy

OTTO takes responsibility for the environment and society. Sustainable management has therefore been a key aspect of OTTO's business activities for many years.

One important aspect of this is preservation of valuable resources in order to improve the environmental conditions for current and future generations. One of our goals is to convert all products for which it is technically possible to packaging containing at least 40 % of recyclate material by 2030. According to a study by Magdeburg Stendal University of Applied Sciences*, around 1.45 tonnes of CO2 can be saved for every tonne of recyclate used.
