Trodat is causing a sensation with the world's first climate-neutral stamp.
Trodat has occupied itself with the subject of the environment for many years. We have seen strong demand for "green products" for about three years, especially in the retail market. As with the subject of "organic" it has become difficult for consumers to find their way in the thicket of eco labelling, recycled content and green coloured products. It is our decision to minimise CO2 emissions because material usage and energy consumption are important elements at Trodat.
We offer eco friendly as standard to show our commitment to the environment. You see a lot of "greenwashing" on the market. For instance, products are simply coloured green or only peripheral product lines are offered as green products. We have made a commitment: our main business must really be green. The new products are incredibly small, amazingly light, and made of up to 65% recycled plastic. So constructed, they save valuable resources and minimise their CO2 footprint. Unavoidable CO2 emissions are compensated for through Gold Stand climate protection projects.
Dr H Aichberger, the CEO of WWF Austria said: "there is "climate protection" hype in the market and everyone wants to jump on this train. At Trodat, you see how corporate social responsibility works: Trodat leaves no stone unturned and relates its activities to the common value creation chain.
"Thus, Trodat really does set new standards in that it first reduces, and only compensates for the unavoidable CO2 footprint in the very last step. And they do it in a responsible way.they invest exclusively in Gold Standard projects recommended by the WWF."
Trodat is now launching the first climate-neutral stamp to the market. The consistent construction and material usage result in a CO2 saving of 49% which the Austrian WWF see as a "great technical performance".
