Positive contribution to the climate crisis
After a short welcome by Stephan Weber, the Managing Director Sales of WEBER Packaging GmbH, during the coffee roasting, they started talking about the up to 75 percent CO² savings through the use of grass or hay as raw material in the so-called grass paper cup..
Compared to the substituted wood content, hay is processed into a raw material almost entirely without water (< 1 litre H²O per 1,000 kg of raw material) and without any chemicals or the energy input previously associated with them. WEBER press spokesman Ingo H. Klett:
