FAQs
There is no single packaging material that is suitable for every product. The most appropriate packaging solution depends on factors such as product protection, safety, how you use it and the availability of collection and recycling systems.
At NIVEA, we continuously work to improve our packaging. Depending on how a product is used, this may include increasing the use of recycled materials, improving recyclability, using paper- and cardboard-based materials from responsibly sourced origins, and exploring refill and reuse solutions where appropriate.
Our goal is to develop packaging solutions that meet the needs of our products and of people like you, while continuously improving areas such as material use, recyclability and resource efficiency."
Whether packaging can be recycled depends on local collection, sorting and recycling systems. For information about how to dispose of packaging correctly, please follow local recycling guidance.
At NIVEA, we regularly assess our packaging in collaboration with independent external experts to better understand how packaging materials can be identified, sorted and recycled within existing recycling systems. We continuously work to improve recyclability through packaging design and material selection."
Depending on how a product is used, NIVEA works with materials such as plastic, aluminium, paper and cardboard. We continuously evaluate these materials and look for opportunities to increase the use of recycled materials, improve recyclability and use responsibly sourced materials where appropriate."
