Good to know

Warning notice on poly bags. Many marketplaces and fulfilment service providers require a suffocation warning notice on film bags above a certain opening size. The Premium poly bags already feature this in multiple languages. Check your marketplace's requirements before sending items in.

Not all recycled material is the same. For the minimum quotas of the PPWR from 2030, only post-consumer recycled material from used packaging counts, as found in the ECOMAILER. Recycled material from production waste (ECOBAGS) saves virgin material, but is not counted.

Consider returns right from the start. With a second adhesive strip, your customer can send the goods back in the same bag. This saves a second packaging material.

Data sheets upon request. A technical data sheet with the PPWR details is available for every item: compliance@nordwerk.de.
