The circular economy

We develop easy-to-use and durable packaging that can be easily refilled. This means that when a product is empty, its packaging can be refilled from one of our refill packs – and this applies to almost every product category.

We design our packaging in accordance with the “Design for Recycling” principle. In other words, we do not use dark-coloured packaging or closures, because it is easier to recycle transparent or light-coloured plastics, thereby resulting in a higher standard of quality.

Our packaging is recyclable, allowing it to be disposed of in the yellow sack/bin and then recycled to a high standard of quality. Turning today’s bottles into tomorrow’s bottles. As a pioneer in this field, Frosch relies on recyclates that from household collections, e.g. the yellow sack in Germany. Between 50 % and 100 % – depending on the type of plastic. The remaining share comes from collecting returnable bottles. This keeps plastic within the cycle, to the benefit of nature.

With their green efficiency formula, our products are powerful and yet particularly gentle on humans, animals and the environment. Protecting the skin is a special focus of Frosch products, such as washing up liquids.

When designing our formulae, we pay special attention to using surfactants that are highly and rapidly biodegradable. This means we can ensure that our products are considerately returned to the environment.

We have always been committed to preserving biodiversity, whether in collaboration with NABU in the Rhine floodplains right on our doorstep, or with BOS, which is committed to preserving the peat bog forest in Mawas, Indonesia: Promoting traditional plant cultivation – especially with regard to native biodiversity and the avoidance of monoculture – is an issue very close to our hearts.

Frosch products contain alcohols, acids and surfactants that are increasingly of European origin. Surfactants, i.e. detergent substances, are based on rapeseed or olives, for example. These, of course, do not compete with food production. This allows us to ensure shorter transport distances compared to using raw materials sourced from tropical cultivation – and save climate-damaging CO2.
