Even the chocolate can go sustainable way

JUNG since 1828 GmbH & Co. KG has new kind of chocolate which is called "Rettergut". It's produced with chocolate which would normally be thrown away. That helps to save resources. Furthermore they have a new filler which is an alternative to chocolate - it's called Zonama. This is also very sustainable and healthy. nature_people

New lifestyle - VEGANISM - in promotional items

The advertising industry is also embracing alternative lifestyles and suppliers are including vegan products in their portfolios. MidOcean, for example, offers cosmetic products that are fully plant-based, skin-friendly, without any animal additives. All made in Europe and in recyclable packaging.
