flustix wins the Crowd Award at the Green Alley Award 2019

The consumer seal for a sustainable approach to plastic wins the hearts of the ‚crowd‘ at Seedmatch

Yesterday, and the award ceremony in the evening at the Green Alley Award from Landbell & Seedmatch, brought plenty of excitement. Not only did we get to exchange ideas with the professionals of the business world, we also met five other terrific finalists presenting their innovations for a sustainable future.

After presenting our certification programme for plastic-free and plastic-recycled products in a pitch on the Green Alley stage, a short while later we were holding recognition, confirmation and encouragement for our work in our hands: the special prize awarded as part of the Green Alley Award, the ‚Seedmatch Crowd Award‘.

With it, the organisers ‚Landbell Group‘ – experts in waste management – and the crowdinvesting platform ‚Seedmatch‚ are honouring forward-looking start-ups and initiatives in the fields of circular economy, recycling and waste avoidance for the sixth time. For the Green Alley Crowd Award, the jury focuses on the sustainability of the initiative and its potential for investors.

You could also say: it is an award from the crowd for the crowd. Because the jury judged it exactly right: “flustix captures the spirit of the times and connects business and consumers in the interest of the environment.”

Clarity about plastic components in products is recognised

Johannes Ranscht, managing director of Seedmatch, adds: “It is high time that labels like flustix appeared on products to make clear whether plastic is contained or not. Scientific research suggests that ingesting plastic particles is not good for the human organism. On top of that come the environmentally harmful effects of plastic waste and of microplastics. Many people are therefore now trying to avoid plastic as far as possible when they shop. The flustix invention makes that considerably easier and is therefore of high social and ecological relevance.”

The entire flustix team would like to thank everyone involved most warmly, and looks forward to the exciting journey towards a circular world of products. We guarantee the credibility of product promises and are here to support you with advice and practical help.
