Our Responsibility
Protecting and caring for the environment is essential to the way Electric Juice GmbH conduct its business. We focus on the efficient use of resources and on minimising our environmental impact.
Of particular importance is minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to mitigate climate change and its effects. This contributes to lowering costs associated with climate change and helps us to drive our business forward in a less carbon-intensive future.
Our approach
Whenever possible, we try to support local Swiss businesses and source our materials as close from home as possible. Unfortunately, in today’s global environment, this is not always possible from a cost-efficiency perspective. We own up to this and our supplier choices, but always try to choose the most environmentally friendly shipment methods when producing further away from Switzerland. We use ship freight and road delivery for their lesser carbon-emissions compared to air freight. And we also ensure that our shipments are protected well so that nothing is broken leading to unnecessary re-production. We try to re-use any packaging as much as we can – whether it is as packing material for an employee moving houses or us sending personal parcels to our friends! We truly care and consider what can be done better.
All of our customer-facing packaging material is ordered from a Swiss supplier.
Our packaging peanuts are 100% biodegradable.
That’s right! You can dispose of them with your bio-trash or flush them down the sink! In addition they are non-toxic and chlorine- and dust free.
Padded bags, the uniquely designed jiffy!
Our Padded Bags are super eco-friendly. For all our small orders, we use these Biodegradable, Recyclable, & FSC accredited jiffy bags, with guaranteed protection.
Our bottles are glass! Mostly…
Glass can be recycled over and over and never lose its integrity, which is not always the case for plastic bottles, therefore, our bottles are made of glass and can also be recycled. Just make sure to separate the materials.
Our little delivery boxes
Our delivery boxes are cardboard, so recycle them! Recycling cardboard reduces greenhouse gases, it helps prevent deforestation, saves water, the list goes on.
If you vape, be responsible! It is important to dispose of all vape gear properly because unsorted electronic waste contributes to pollution.
We hope that our customers take the time and effort to recycle everything effectively. We love our 🌎.
