"We Care"
Kupilka products are made from our natural fibre composite which favours the use of renewable energy sources.
The wood for the material comes from the certified forests in Finland.
Both the products and the material are manufactured in Finland using EKOenergy.
The wide operating temperature of the product (-30 °C - 100 °C) together with the resistance of the material ensure a durable product for years to come.
This also means a smaller carbon footprint.
At the end of the life span the products can be recycled, incinerated for heat energy or returned to the manufacturer for re-use.
KUPILKA packaging is made from recycled cardboard which can be recycled or burned.
