FOUR MATERIALS.
ONE LIFECYCLE PRINCIPLE.

Cardboard, plastic, wood and metal — we choose every material by lifecycle, not habit. And we ask the same question each time: what happens once the display has done its job?

Short-lived, by design
01

CARDBOARD
& PAPER

Almost fully recyclable — the right choice for the one campaign, the one season. No material stays in circulation longer than it needs to.

02

Plastic

PCR and PIR regrind up to 70% possible — ground in our own mills since 2021. More on that below.

FSC-certified
03

FSC-certified on request — solid and durable for shop-in-shop spaces with a long service life.

Built for decades
04

Metal

Load-bearing structures for permanent displays — weather-resistant and fully recyclable at end of life.

PCR & PIR.
UP TO 70% RECYCLED.

PCR stands for post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been in retail or household use — packaging from German curbside collection, for example. PIR stands for post-industrial recycled: offcuts from our own production that never reached an end customer. Which of the two we use is a joint decision — depending on requirements for stability, colour fidelity and look.

70%

Recycled content possible — as PCR or PIR, depending on the component.

Post-consumer

PCR possible

Post-consumer recycling: packaging and household plastics from German curbside collection, back into display carriers and bases.

Post-industrial

Own mills since 2021

Plastic offcuts from our own production are collected by type and ground in our own mills since 2021. The regrind becomes PIR material for new displays.

THREE STAGES.
ONE CLOSED LOOP.

01

Waste becomes raw material

Plastic offcuts from our own production are collected by type and processed into regrind in our own mills.

02

Raw material becomes material

Our regrind goes back to the plastics supplier, who turns it into new PIR material of defined quality.

03

Material becomes display

We process PIR material — sourced in part from our own production offcuts — into your new display.

For us, sustainability isn't about doing without — it's about responsibility: we build displays so that what's left over becomes something new.
