Recycling loops

According to studies (Ramboll: Life cycle assessment "Disposable vs. reusable"), single-use packaging can perform better than reusable solutions in many areas. It is essential that products made from renewable raw materials are used.

PAPSTAR Solutions GmbH, for example, has developed the overall concept "Zero Waste - Pure Pleasure" for catering tableware and cutlery at events, with the service components of consulting, goods, circular economy and recycling, and communication.

If coating, then
only from algue

Algae and seaweed are among the fastest-growing renewable raw materials. As a grease-resistant coating, they are a natural addition to Notpla's (= not plastic) recyclable fresh fiber cardboard snack trays.

Growth & success

Our employees are the foundation of PAPSTAR's success. With an average length of service of 10.7 years and a balanced age structure, we are able to combine many years of experience with fresh ideas.

The proportion of employees over the age of 50 ensures that valuable expertise and stability remain anchored in the company, while younger generations bring new ideas to the table. This mix forms the basis for sustainable development. Across Europe, 454 employees work full-time and 462 part-time (= 916 as of December 31, 2025) – a clear commitment to work-life balance.

  • The companies of the PAPSTAR Group always promote mindful interaction with one another. In every interaction in everyday life, appreciation and empathy are generally decisive for every relationship and thus every communication.
  • However, attractive benefits are also very important for good and reliable employee retention.
