and Veganuary offers the perfect opportunity to discover a plant-based diet. Vegan eating is more than a trend: it improves health and protects the environment. This guide shows you how to try vegan step by step, overcome obstacles and integrate plant-based alternatives - whether you want to switch completely or try something new.
Choosing a vegan diet is an exciting journey and Veganuary is here to support you. Success stories show: 28% of participants remain vegan six months later, and 80% reduce their consumption of animal products by at least half(1).
The German Nutrition Society confirms: A plant-based diet protects health and the environment(2). Many experience the changeover as a culinary enrichment with new, exciting taste experiences(1).
The 3-phase method is based on the experiences of successful Veganuary participants, 65% of whom report positive health changes(3).
As a company, it is particularly important to us to create transparency. We have therefore published our first impact report, in which our figures were audited by an external, verified office. We provide insights into the ecological impact of EINFACH MEHRWEG and the ESG issues at sykell. This strengthens the trust of our customers and partners in the reliability and functionality of our system.
We have also been honored with three prestigious awards: the German Packaging Award, the Golden German Packaging Award and the German Sustainability Award for Products. These awards are not only a confirmation of our work, but also an incentive to continue strengthening circular solutions. We are still incredibly proud of these recognitions.
Another milestone was our presence at several trade fairs, such as FachPack and the Sustainable Packaging Summit, as well as our participation in 14 other talks in which we discussed sustainable packaging solutions and the logistics behind reusable systems. Our joint presentation with REWE at the 3rd Reusable Packaging Conference in Berlin, which was organized by Deutsche Umwelthilfe, deserves special mention.
Despite these successes, there were also declines. The total number of orders fell by 24% from 2023 to 2024, which is mainly due to the high number of initial orders. We see these fluctuations as a learning process and are continuously working to further optimize our system.
One challenge is the average circulation time of an EINFACH MEHRWEG packaging. For the system to continue to function effectively, it is crucial that the containers are returned regularly, as the ecological benefits of reusable packaging are maximized the faster the containers are recycled for the next use. Reusable packaging thrives on participation and this is the only way to keep the cycle intact.
REWE's salad bar is the ideal place to go for anyone who doesn't want to miss out on quick and tasty snacks on the go. Here you will find a diverse selection of vegan options that are not only fresh and delicious, but also practical.
