When you buy a product or a service, you decide directly or indirectly about burdens on water, soil, air or your own health. In order to base your purchasing decisions on environmental considerations, you need reliable and trustworthy information, such as the following in this case:

• All containers pass the highest test requirements worldwide according to DIN EN 840 and RAL GZ 951/1 and guarantee a qualitatively equivalent and durable product
• Recyclate consists of at least 90% reprocessed post-consumer
  Polyethylene plastic and environmentally friendly processing aids and UV stabilizers.
• Maximum use of recycled material
• Annual recertification of raw material suppliers (EuCertPlast certificate)
• Waste & recycling bins (60-1100L) available with eco-label

This is exactly where the Blue Angel helps. The Blue Angel guarantees that products and services meet high standards in terms of environmental, health and usage properties. The entire product life cycle must always be considered in the assessment. For each product group, criteria are developed that the products and services labeled with the Blue Angel must meet. To reflect technical developments, the Federal Environment Agency reviews the criteria every three to four years. In this way, companies are required to make their products ever more environmentally friendly.
