Pfabo: reusable system at Bio Company excellent

The Bio Company SE won the Green Buddy Award 2023 in the retail category. The company received this prize for its innovative idea to enable customers to buy packaging -free shopping. The "Pfabo" is a reusable box that is used for loose goods in the freshness areas of the markets. Customers can purchase the box for a deposit amount of 5 euros, which is reimbursed when returning.

The idea for the "Pfabo" comes from a start-up from Wildau that has been cooperating with Bio Company SE since 2021 to further reduce disposable packaging and garbage. Laura Nickel from Bio Company emphasized the importance of regionality in the company philosophy and praised the cooperation with the regional start-up. She also encouraged other companies, start-ups and young people to apply for such awards and thereby find inspiration.
