Eco-friendly

The organic good
from the box!

We have always used materials that ensure 100% recyclability and now due to the commitment taken with you and the environment the packaging of some of our products is even more eco-friendly.

We are constantly working to find sustainable alternatives, progressively reducing plastic in our packaging and adopting low environmental impact solutions. The journey is still long, but every day we take concrete steps to minimize environmental impact through virtuous and responsible actions.
Our first steps towards a more sustainable future

Our first steps towards a more sustainable future

In 2019, we introduced innovative solutions by replacing plastic flowpacks with plastic-free packaging. The inner bags of many products, essential for maintaining freshness and crunchiness, began to be made from a biodegradable and industrially compostable material.

But we didn’t stop there…

In 2024, we launched a restyling project that, by the end of 2025, will make the packaging of some product categories, such as biscuits and cereals, 100% FSC certified paper. This change will eliminate the double packaging for gluten-free cereals and biscuits, replacing it with a single more sustainable solution, while classic biscuits will switch from the current plastic packaging to fully FSC certified paper packaging.

Here is what
our packaging looks like:

Made by paper

The paper we use
for our packaging is FSC® certified

If we previously used recyclable paper and cardboard, now in our packaging you will find FSC® certified paper.

The paper we use for our packaging is FSC® certified, made from raw materials sourced from responsibly managed forests.

The choice to no longer use recycled paper was a natural consequence of our philosophy, which is to offer you a product that is good, safe, and sustainable.

Recycled paper, in fact, requires large amounts of energy to be produced, energy that does not necessarily come from renewable sources; moreover, for the same size, recycled paper is heavier than virgin paper.

FSC® certified paper comes from properly managed forest sources: the FSC certification mark ensures that the entire wood-paper supply chain comes from forest management that is environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable.

Germinal Bio uses FSC® certified paper supporting the protection of forests, biodiversity, people, and the ecosystems that depend on them.

Where does our paper come from?
The paper comes from a transparent and certified supply chain according to FSC® international standards that guarantee the sustainable origin of raw materials.

Thanks to this choice, we are using 30% less paper each year and 60% less plastic (corresponding to about 40 tons).
