The cardboard packaging is FSC-certified. The adhesive tape for sealing the packages is made of recycled plastic. If TRIXIE cannot do without bubble wrap or outer packaging, they use filling materials made of 100% recycled plastic. The packaging of their food items is subject to special specifications and rules. Therefore, TRIXIE cannot do without plastic in this area. Since spring 2024, they have had their snack bags made from monomaterial in order to increase the recyclability of the packaging and to keep the materials in the recycling cycle for as long as possible.
With the sales from their series BE NORDIC, TRIXIE supports marine protection projects. Since 2019 they have contributed financially to various ghost net retrievals and clean-ups in the Baltic Sea. In 2020 cigarette butts were the focus of a big awareness-raising campaign. In addition to that, TRIXIE regularly donates to nature conservation associations, start-ups and regional societies that promote nature conservation.

In total, TRIXIE produced 1682.95 tons of CO2e in 2021. The two largest sources are their vehicle fleet and energy ose at the Tarp site. Various measures have been taken to reduce emissions, for example their company cars are gradually being converted to electric vehicles. Charging stations have been installed in their car park, which the employees can also use. In the vehicle fleet category, this means that a saving of around 3.5 tonnes of CO2e per car conversion per year is possible.
They are also looking into reducing the CO2 emissions of tranportation. This is planned to be done by increasing transport by rail, using entire containers to their full capacity or adjusting box dimensions to six fixed sizes for more efficient use of space – some optimizations to reduce emissions have already been found.
For the “electric stackers” in their “internal transport fleet”, TRIXIE now uses lithium ions, the complete lighting system has been changed to LEDs, and they use 100 % of green electricity. TRIXIE’s photovoltaic rooftop installation provides a total output of 748 kWp, their own consumption rate being about 70 %.

TRIXIE’s animal welfare team ensures that development, redesign and testing of our products is carried out with a view to the products not being harmful and not bringing pain or suffering to an animal if they are used correctly. For this TRIXIE relies on the current knowledge base concerning the needs of pets as well as the expertise of professional experts. TRIXIE checks any complaints carefully, consults specialists and trains customers and employees on their products and on pet needs.
They are also commited to protecting forests and plan to switch at least 90% of their items containing wood to FSC-certified wood.
In 2016, TRIXIE acquired two stretch hood machines that enables them to save 50% of foils.
They have also been working on reducing blister packs in their product packaging and they anticipate that about 8 tonnes of plastic less will be released into the market in one year en Germany alone.
Moreover, with the series Be Eco created in 2020, we make a valuable contribution to resource-saving recycling. The places to lie, dog toys, transport boxes and cat litter trays are produced to a high degree from recycled materials (between 70% and 100%). The series is continuously being expanded.
They have also evaluated how they can optimise the the circular economy of their products and packaging. For this they have looked at the entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal, for a selection of the most representative items. This has enabled them to already implement some measures and goals in order to use resources efficiently and minimise environmental impact.
By 2025, their plan is to switch at least 90% of their bags to monomaterial. This can reduce the use of plastic by an average of 33% per bag.*
