Here you'll find, for every piece of packaging we send you, what it is, what it's made of and where it goes. Just look for the packaging you're holding right now.

Germany: paper and cardboard go in the paper bin, plastic goes in the Gelber Sack / Gelbe Tonne.
Austria: paper and cardboard go in the waste paper collection, plastic packaging goes in the Gelber Sack / Gelbe Tonne.
Switzerland: cardboard goes in the cardboard collection, paper in the waste paper collection; plastic films and boxes belong in the household waste bag (Kehrichtsack), unless your municipality offers a plastics collection.

You don't need to peel off stickers and labels. Our labels are made of paper; on cardboard boxes they simply stay on, and on plastic packaging they don't interfere with sorting.
