What the jury said
This innovative tub uses 20% less polypropylene, saves 20% CO2 emissions and at the same time offers a 50% improvement in pot volume per reusable transport box compared to typical market alternatives.
This remarkable progress is achieved through design adjustments in the form of bars inserted on the inner walls. The stability remains virtually unchanged and the tub also looks great.
The consumer does not even notice the innovations and their major effects. A really great and exciting success story.
