CO2 emissions, avoiding, reducing, compensating
For a clean future
In order to live up to our responsibility for a future worth living, we are taking the next big step in climate protection by making our first products CO2-compensated.
To this end, the carbon footprint of a product is calculated and offset along the entire value chain, from raw material extraction, transport of raw materials and precursor products, production through to the trading partner.
AlmaWin had the CO2 emissions of these products calculated and offset 100% of them by purchasing climate protection certificates for the period 1.9.2022-31.08.2024. The calculation of greenhouse gases shows emissions that occur along the upstream value chain in direct connection with the production and provision of preliminary products. In addition, all emissions associated with incoming and outgoing logistics were taken into account. The certificates can be viewed at klimaneutral.fokus-zukunft.com/validierung/11221/.

Our first CO2-compensated products
As a first step, our Almawin machine dishwashing detergent 1.250 kg, dishwasher tabs, dishwashing detergent lemongrass 500 ml, rinse aid and the dishwasher and washing machine cleaner are CO2-compensated.
With the support of our partner Fokus Zukunft GmbH, we support climate protection projects in Peru and India by purchasing emission certificates in order to compensate for the unavoidable CO² emissions of our products.
The forest protection project in Peru fights illegal deforestation of the rainforest and threats to biodiversity. Alternative and secure sources of income, from the sustainable harvest of Brazil nuts, enable small farmers to protect and conserve their forest. Regional families benefit and illegal logging becomes unattractive. Read more: Forest protection in Peru
The goal of our commitment in India is to expand electricity generation from renewable energy sources. The electricity mix in India is mainly dominated by power plants based on thermal or fossil fuels. By promoting solar energy, dependence on fossil fuels can be reduced and natural resources conserved. Read more: Solar power in India
The wind power project in Oaxaca/Mexico promotes the development of energy generation from renewable sources. In Mexico, due to the large oil reserves, electricity is still mainly generated from fossil fuels, although areas in the isthmus are particularly well suited for exploitation of wind resources.

Each product also carries a QR code – through which the projects, CO2 offsets and certificates can be accessed.
Go active - for your health and climate
Do you love exercise and like to really push yourself - whether in the gym, in the studio or outside? Do you like to be intoxicated by the fresh air in the forest? Do you listen to birdsong and enjoy everything that blooms and thrives? - Let's protect and preserve this marvel together and do something to protect the climate and preserve our natural world.
Ecological detergents have less impact on the environment in every respect and are also kind to your skin. The 100% recycled bottle also saves a lot of resources.
This saves raw materials and energy and reduces CO2 emissions. Recycled bottles also reduce the amount of waste and plastic pollution in our oceans.
A valuable contribution to climate protection and the preservation of our environment.
This is how we compensate
In order to compensate for the unavoidable CO² emissions of this product, we have decided, with the support of our partner Fokus Zukunft GmbH, to support a climate protection project in Mauritania by purchasing emission certificates.
The project is the first large-scale wind power plant in Mauritania, generating around 105,000 MWh per year. The goal of our involvement is to expand electricity generation from renewable energy sources. The electricity mix in Mauritania is mainly dominated by fossil fuel-based power plants. By promoting wind energy, dependence on fossil fuels can be reduced and natural resources conserved. Local jobs are created, which counteract poverty in the region.
