Sustainability plays a key role in the daily life of countless people. Likewise, our mission is to augment the sustainability of our everyday essentials, so they complement this lifestyle. For instance, we are currently focusing on making our packaging more sustainable. Where at the outset, Sorbo products were packaged in both plastic and cardboard, we are endeavouring to reduce our use of plastic, and to make our cardboard using FSC® certified timber. Sorbo recently developed a new range - Sorbo Recycled - that is almost entirely made up of recycled materials. For example, our young brand, Greenminds, focuses solely on sustainability, and SensX's condoms are packaged in sustainable materials.

We strive towards reducing our waste production, and where possible to separate and recycle waste, to subsequently reduce the impact on the (living) environment. We collect and separate paper and cardboard, which we then offer to the paper industry for recycling. Collected glass waste is recycled 100% and turned into new glass products or windows. Collected foil is washed and ground down to granules, which is then used to make bottles or plastic bags. Our strategy has already proved hugely successful: in 2017 we saw a 58% reduction in CO2 emissions, compared to 2016.
