And it helps to reduce plastic waste, which is particularly important for Neudorff, a pioneer in natural gardening. For over 160 years, the company has been offering products that come from nature as far as possible, grow back quickly and have a low impact on the environment, for example through climate-neutral production.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eIn future, we want to continue to expand our commitment to climate and environmental protection with new, sustainable packaging solutions and at the same time make it even more visible.
