ARA – the packaging cycle
In Austria, ARA is responsible for the efficient and cost-effective collection, reuse and disposal or all packaging materials. Every year, ARA and all its partners in Austria can save 510,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
Together with ARA (Altstoff Recycling Austria) , we take charge of the separate collection, recycling and disposal of packaging reusables inthe ARA system. Together with ARA, Ölz der Meisterbäcker wants to raise awareness for ‘packaging’ as a resource.
We are making an active contribution to protecting the environment.
The collaboration between Ölz der Meisterbäcker and ARA (Altstoff Recycling Austria) carefully saves primary resources and energy carriers and prevents the emission of dangerous greenhouse gases. Our achievements in 2023:
- A saving of 2,452 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
- This corresponds to the greenhouse gas emissions from more than 30 million kilometres travelled by car.
- or more than 700 times around the Earth.
We are part of ARA’s campaign ‘Watch out for the packaging raw materials’, as it is must be our aim to recycle packaging.
As much as necessary, as little as possible!
protection and hygiene of baked products is only possible with the right packaging. At Ölz, we completely avoid the use of composite materials, relying exclusively on monofilms in order to made an important contribution to the recyclability of packaging materials. The top priority for us at Ölz der Meisterbäcker with regard to the packaging materials we use: as little as possible, as much as necessary!
