Sustainability
"Plastic for Planet"
Plastic as an elementary component of the material and recyclables base for a sustainable design of our future. Plastic is and remains - correctly used, disposed of or reused - an irreplaceable resource. We stand by our responsibility and demonstrate this in various projects:
Material
For many years now, BARKU has been covering up to 3/4 of its plastic granulate requirements from recycled materials. In the end, 1 kg of polymer originally used is used to produce several times more finished products and the plastic component that is practically out of date is "breathed new life" through consistent recycling.
Green energy
As early as 2022, BARKU was generating a large part of its energy needs using its own photovoltaic system. In order to make more extensive use of the energy generated in this way, extensive battery storage systems were installed at the end of 2023 and, since the beginning of 2024, the company has switched completely to sourcing electricity exclusively from renewable sources.
