Bee sponsorship

About three quarters of our native plants depend on pollination by bees. The German Beekeepers' Association reports that between 12.7 and 14.8 percent of all bee colonies in Germany died in the winter of 2020/2021. So it's high time to do something for the bee population. Why not with a bee sponsorship? With this bee sponsorship you support the work of the Bienenretter education and ecology project.

Save the Bees

Cradle to Cradle products

A Cradle to Cradle certification means that no raw materials are consumed to produce the products, only used, and that all raw materials are later returned to nature in the form of nutrients. Plastic bottles are a disaster for nature. Even with reusable bottles, only a quarter of the bottle waste can be recycled for new bottles. More environmentally friendly are reusable drinking bottles that, at best, contain no toxic substances, such as those from Dopper. The C2C certified bottles contain healthy materials and are 100% recyclable.
