PROnatur24® ships sustainably – committed to the environment

“The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.” Ernest Hemingway

The goal of PROnatur24® and also SFERICS® with its EMF specialisation, is human health. However, our ecological footprint also plays a role, the way we deal with our environment or our nature. That’s why we focus on the most environmentally friendly production possible, as well as a fast, efficient and climate-friendly transport of orders to our customers.

Ecologically sustainable packaging for all orders

Basically, we distinguish between parcel shipping between primary packaging and repackaging.

In the FIRST PACKAGING we use 100% environmentally friendly, unbleached cardboard in high quality to prevent damage to the ordered products during transport. In addition to the shipping cards, the packaging materials also contain a high percentage of recycled content and consist of environmentally friendly packaging paper.

In REPACKAGING, we use packaging materials from our suppliers’ packages to resend our orders. The re-use of these materials is the same as the packaging in the first shipment because the materials must not be immediately disposed of. In this case, other packaging materials can be used as wrapping paper such as air bubble films or cavity fillers. If already used cartons are in good condition, we will use them again to avoid unnecessary carton use.

Parcel Shipping via POST/DHL, DPD, and GLS

The information service via email regarding the shipment status and redirection of the shipment is a chargeable additional service that we have chosen for various reasons. We do not pass on the additional charge to the customer. Our transportation partners ensure an efficient transport route, which is beneficial for environmental protection as unnecessary routes are avoided. With the shipping information, the customer receives information about the package up to one day before delivery and can redirect if necessary. Together with the customer, we ensure that only one trip is required to deliver the package, thereby not burdening our environment any more than absolutely necessary. Once the transition to electric transporters is successful and the electricity for them is no longer produced by harmful power plants, it would be the next step towards sustainable parcel transportation.

Invoice Shipping for Orders via Email

Every invoice print requires electricity, paper, and depending on the printer, ink or toner. Our collective goal should be to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. Even the minor act of printing an invoice contributes to this, consuming valuable resources that aren’t strictly necessary. The packing slip is essential for checking during packing and unpacking, but not the invoice. We send the customer the PDF invoice for the order conveniently and eco-friendly via email, along with the package tracking link in a single email. At this point, we kindly ask our customers not to print the invoice unless absolutely necessary. You can search and open it in your inbox at any time; losing the invoice is impossible, which we see as a very positive side effect.
