At Stapelstein® we are not only committed to reducing our resource consumption, but also for the fact that our products can go through a closed cycle and thus actively promote the circular economy. Our Stapelstein® elements are made 100 % of recyclable expanded polypropylene (EPP). The production takes place locally in Germany and is not only climate -neutralized, but also free of pollutants. We think holistically and plan for the end of a product from the start. Since the first hour of Stapelstein® we therefore rely on circulatory capacity and circular product development.
Sustainable innovation with monomaterial EPP
Unlike conventional elements, which consist of a variety of materials, are Stapelstein® Products made of monomaterial. This innovative approach enables us to avoid complex separation procedures during recycling and to re -integrate the elements seamlessly into the production circuit. This promotes the circular economy and reduce environmental impacts.
EPP - stable, durable, sustainable
The choice of EPP as a material for our Stapelstein® elements took place after thorough material search and testing of various prototypes. EPP has proven to be the only material because it meets the legal requirements and all essential factors for us. EPP combines lightness and stability, is durable and environmentally friendly. The EPP production process requires less energy compared to other plastics, which leads to a lower environmental impact.
A circulation that never ends
Thanks to the uniform monomaterial, everyone can Stapelstein® elements are completely recycled at the end of your life cycle-provided you return to the recycling circuit. And here you come into play.
If elements can no longer be used after many years of use, our Stapelstein® withdrawal program that you do not end up in household waste. Instead, the elements collected are processed into reusable EPP raw material, which again flows into the production process.
That means that everyone Stapelstein® elements are circulating - and that since the beginning of the Stapelstein® history.
In order to return elements back to the production cycle, please contact your order number Hi@stapelstein.de. So you will receive a free return label from us.
