The average Slovenian is said to throw away more than 10 kg of completely useful things every year, so it is necessary to think about how we can improve this. Let's consider how we can improve statistics every day with three small steps - reduce, reuse, recycle.
At HOFER, too, they work in a sustainable and socially responsible manner, which is why they designed the project Packaging on the HOFER mission: Reduce. Use it again. Recycle.
Reduce it.
By the end of 2025, the total amount of packaging of own-brand products will be reduced by 15 % (in proportion to sales). They started testing with this natural branding or laser marking of fruits and vegetables, for example BIO avocado, where the use of packaging film or labels is no longer necessary.
Use it again.
As the first major Slovenian retailer already since the beginning of 2018 encourage the (re)use of a sustainable bag "There is less in (r)e" from Fairtrade cotton, at the same time in June 2019, paid classic plastic bags will be withdrawn from sale.
Recycle.
By the end of 2025, all product packaging of HOFER's own brands will be 100 % recyclable. Many HOFER PET bottles already contain recycled materials, even the packaging of the Tandil Eco detergent is made of 100 % recycled PET material.
