Non Food
How does Tchibo develop its Non-Food range more sustainably? We consistently focus on sustainable materials, social production conditions and the circular economy – with continuous progress since 2007, from organic cotton to circular products.
Every week, we surprise our customers with a variety of products in our weekly worlds and bring them to our supermarket shelves, stores and online store. We have set ourselves the goal of offering our customers products that are as sustainable as possible and whose high quality is in harmony with environmental protection and social production conditions. We are guided by this goal when putting together our product ranges, designing our products and selecting materials.
