The PEFC label part of ALDI SOUTH’s awareness campaign

The meaning behind seven of the most recognized sustainability labels, including the PEFC label, was the focus of ALDI SOUTH’s “in the footsteps of the 7 seals” campaign. ALDI SOUTH is a leading German retailer with almost 5,300 stores globally.

With its ‘Seven seals’ campaign, ALDI SOUTH presented its customers in Germany with seven important sustainability seals from the ALDI SOUTH product range in an extensive information campaign for the first time.

“Many of the everyday products in the food trade are marked with a sustainability label,” said Ralf-Thomas Reichrath, Deputy General Manager in the Central Purchasing (field quality control) at ALDI SOUTH in Germany.

“However, while organic or fair trade labels are recognized quickly, there are still uncertainties surrounding the meaning of many other labels. We want to change this with our 7 seals campaign,” Reichrath explained.

The campaign
The campaign was targeted to reach a family audience, with a particular focus on providing children as our future generation with comprehensive information about sustainable products. With this campaign, ALDI SOUTH made an active contribution towards promoting sustainable consumption.

ALDI SOUTH created child-friendly brochures, suitable for the whole family, along with other campaign materials, to teach children about the positive benefits to humans and the environment behind the label.

As part of the campaign, children and their parents were able to go in search of the seven labels, enabling them to actively engage with and recognize these labels.

The campaign also features seven short videos of children explaining the meaning of the seven labels. The video for the PEFC label is available online.

Domtar Is Committed to Increased Recycling Rates for Paper, Cardboard

High recycling rates are a priority for Domtar—and for our industry partners. We’ve worked together to boost the rate that paper and packaging are recycled throughout the U.S. And it’s working. The pulp and paper industry continues to achieve a high recycling rate for its products, according to newly released data from the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA). In 2022, 93.6% of all cardboard boxes and corrugated containers were recycled, an increase from the previous year’s 91.4%. And the paper recycling rate in 2022 was 67.9%, holding nearly steady compared to 68.1% in 2021. We’re doing our part by using recycled cardboard containers at our newly re-started Kingsport Mill, Domtar’s first 100%-recycled manufacturing facility. It produces containerboard to make cardboard boxes.
