ecoecho®

A lifecycle less ordinary

Our ecoecho® range reflects our desire to be outstanding – and first – in our market, our goodfoodmood brand essence and Our Blue Mission.

The range offers some of the most outstanding – if not the best – solutions in the market for sustainability, quality and style.

To qualify as ecoecho®, a product must meet a high standard: a significant part of it must fulfil at least two of these environmental standards: Resource Efficiency, Renewability, Compostability and Responsible Sourcing.

The lifecycle of a duni product

Find and Trace
It begins with the choice of materials. We prefer renewable raw materials from trees and other plants that are responsibly grown and sourced.
Create and Make
We strive to ensure our plants have good working conditions and limited environmental impact. Manufacturing is mainly in Europe, but our network of suppliers is worldwide.
Choose and Use
Using singleuse products should not only be practical and hygienic, but they should also be responsibly produced and have environmental benefits.
Sort and Return
A Duni product can normally be recycled, composted or burned with energy recovery. Littering is not acceptable, and the deposit of waste in landfills should be avoided.

our mission to reduce emissions

Everyday we work hard to keep reducing our environmental impact. Our goals are focused on energy- overall reduction and fossil free production. More about our targets and environmental footprint may be found in Our Blue Mission report.

NApkin production

Blue mission at work

Achieving our goal of making our tissue production fossil free means we have to do many things. One is to focus on the table covers and napkins that account for much of our production. These are mainly produced at our four sites in Europe.

For instance, the steam we use to dry napkins at our production facility in Skåpafors is produced in our bio-boiler, which burns renewable resources such as forestry waste. That way the net emissions of fossil greenhouse gases are very low.

Supplier collaboration

Shared Responsibility

We work very closely with our suppliers to ensure they meet the highest standards – and, in doing so, keep the promises we make. They are all audited regulary to ensure they uphold sustainable values, follow our stringent Supplier Code of Conduct and comply with all the relevant EU regulations.

product safety

PRODUCT SAFETY A PARAMOUNT PRIORITY

For a product to bear the Duni brand, it must be guaranteed to be safe – and comply with the relevant laws and standards regarding safety. This applies to our napkins, plates, packaging and anything else that comes into contact with food. It also applies to our candles too.

Our rigorous focus on safety extends to production and end-usage. For example, we always invite our customers to pay attention to safety markings. Furthermore, our Environment & Quality department is always happy to provide certifications.

Our range of compostable unicolours – the most extensive available – is the natural choice if you want to create a colourful mood and still care for the environment. A product of our commitment to lead the market, it offers individual colours for every occasion.

Our talent management programme

Employees dunited

An insightful approach to the environment and people is the essence of the Duni brand. Through a culture that promotes development and job satisfaction, we attract and retain our employees. At Duni we are convinced that a prosperous organization is a prerequisite for achieving both business and environmental goals. Our employees are the most important resource in this regard.

The OK Compost label, from the certification body TUV Austria, indicates that the product is suitable for industrial composting and meets the stringent requirements of the European standard EN 13432.

Products carrying this label from the certification body TUV Austria can be composted at home. For instance, they can be put on the compost heap in a garden. This is because they compost at lower temperatures than used for industrial composting.

Duni is an FSC® certificate holder, FSC-C014985, meaning the great majority of our tissue-based products come from wood fibres sourced from responsibly managed FSC certified forests.

Our Duni ecoecho® range promotes innovative, eco- conscious design. For example, ecoecho® products may be made from biodegradable or recycled materials.
