SUSYcheck

Dear consumers: SUSY checks on packs! With SUSY, evaluating the sustainability of packaging is as easy as comparing prices. Get your own impression of how serious manufacturers and retailers are about making their packaging sustainable! Here you can find out how many stars out of a possible 5 in the SUSY Score for evaluating integrated sustainability the packaging used in our test products achieved. For this purpose, we always test 8 products of one category. Feel free to let us know which category you would like us to “put under the microscope”. Your SUSY Team!

Sustainability myths

SUSY brings light to them

Sustainability myths are widespread and often misleading. These myths often create a false image about sustainability and environmental issues. As a consumer, you may make the wrong decision when evaluating packaging and choosing your products because you believe you are doing the right thing. We will put an end to this and will be happy to inform you!
