About us
28 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
For almost 30 years we have been working on the development of fresh packaging for sending flowers. It is our goal to maintain the value of flowers and bouquets even during a journey lasting several days. As a family company that has been producing in Germany since the beginning, we attach great importance to quality. That is why we are continuously working on improving our products in order to guarantee you a flower delivery with the least possible loss of quality. For some years now, ROTARIS has also been intensively concerned with the topic of sustainability, with the intention of adapting the FRESHBAG® better to your customer needs and contributing to climate protection.

Following the introduction of the plastic-free paper sheet, we continue to work on the task of making our product range more sustainable and producing packaging products that fulfil their function with the least possible impact on people and the environment.
Mehr Natur für unsere Produkte – Wir sind nachhaltiger geworden
Wir haben an allen unseren Komponenten des FRESHBAG® gearbeitet.
Ab sofort verwenden wir in all unseren Produkten biologisch
belassene Zellstoffe, die nicht gebleicht sind. Hierdurch verringert sich der CO2-Fußabdruck um 30 %. Die eingesetzten Zellstoffe sind FSC® und PEFC™ zertifiziert.
Ihre Kunden danken es Ihnen
Zudem haben wir unsere Produktion auf kreidehaltige Folie umgestellt. Kreide kommt reichlich in der Natur vor, durch ihre Verwendung wird der CO2-Fußabdruck der Folie nachhaltig gesenkt und der erforderliche Kunststoffeinsatz erheblich
reduziert. Insgesamt bestehen unsere Folien nun aus 50 % weniger Kunststoff.
Das FRESHBAG® Tuch Natural – unser neues Produkt
Wir haben unsere Produktpalette erweitert. Unser bewährter FRESHBAG® wurde um das FRESHBAG®Tuch Natural erweitert.
Das FRESHBAG® Tuch Natural besteht nur aus Papier und Zellulose und ist damit kunststofffrei, biologisch abbaubar und recycelfähig.
