Langnau BE – Printed paper and cardboard are often full of toxins. In contrast, Vögeli forgoes the use of such toxic substances in its production processes. The printing company based in the Emmental consistently adheres to the Cradle to Cradle principle. For this, it is able to turn to a Europe-wide network.
World premiere: For the first time a Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM GOLD product is offered in a Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM GOLD packaging.
The Nuscheli* from Hautli Haus Kids/Johann Müller AG are available in beautiful packaging from Vögeli AG in sets of 3.
*A Swiss German word which roughly translates to “blankie” or “lovey” in English. Fold it diagonally to wear as a scarf for drooling, as a bib, or as a head bandana. Or use it unfolded as a burp or wash cloth. In Switzerland, Nuscheli are irreplaceable for everyday life and a vital companion for the baby years.
Since February 1st this year, Vögeli is able to produce his products according to the very high standard of Cradle to Cradle Certified™ GOLD. Since then, several Cradle to Cradle Certified™ GOLD Pureprint products like prospectus, brochures and packaging did leave the production site of Vögeli. In 2019, Vögeli could double its Pureprint production, so far.
The first Cradle to Cradle Certified™ GOLD Pureprint product was a tool, which helps other companies and organizations, to move forward with their sustainable behavior:
For the third time, gugler* was represented at the Frankfurt Book Fair with a booth made of natural materials. Under the motto “HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL”, gugler* was showing the publishing industry how healthy, pollutant-free and recyclable Cradle to Cradle production can help differentiate itself from the competition in the future.
The Frankfurt Book Fair had 8% more visitors than in 2018. Exactly 302 267. Long live the book! And here is a quote from a visitor: “I went through the halls and everything was so sterile and lifeless and then I saw the booth of gugler*, who really shone out from the crowd out. Here is life. Here I can recharge my batteries. The gugler* booth is made of real wood and looks powerful and pithy.”
Lingerie brand Wolford’s first Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Gold certified product collection, including a pair of leggings and a pullover, has recently hit stores – packed in Cradle to Cradle certified folding boxes produced by gugler*. After their life cycle with customers naturally ends, Wolford will take back the products for industrial composting, closing the loop by using the products’ smart ingredients as nutrients for our planet like as humus and biogas.
