Cause we believe in better solutions

TALLY WEiJL counters the devastating trend of consuming and wasting plastic bags. Already a few years ago, we banished all plastic bags from our stores and have been using only recycled paper bags since. With a number of 860 stores worldwide, this measure makes a significant contribution to reducing plastic waste.
Overall, encouraging our customers to a more eco-conscious behavior, we have charged a fee on every paper bag in Switzerland and Germany and donate the revenues to a good cause. In Switzerland, we have been supporting the Aids Foundation for many years now. In Germany, we donate to the environmental non-profit organization One Earth - One Ocean e.V. (OEOO) to support their unique concept of a marine litter cleanup.
OEOO has developed special garbage collection ships, which remove the plastic from waters. This collected waste is then recycled, or converted into sulfur-free fuel oil. An extremely valuable and innovative project, that we supported with a donation of 50,000 euros each in 2017 and 2018. Find more information on OEOO on: https://oneearth-oneocean.com.
Furthermore, all foil that TALLY WEiJL uses as packaging material is made out of recycled plastic. We have a systematic take-back and recycling system for all packaging material that ultimately remains in our distribution centers and in stores (2018: a total of 32 tons of foil and 904 tons of cardboard have been recycled).
