Ebnat & circular economy
Newly developed Ebnat brand products are consistently orientated towards the principles of circular economy.
The basis for this can e.g. be found at Ellen MacArthur Foundation, for the European region also in DIN standardisation and for Switzerland at FOEN.

What is PCR material?
PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled. These are plastics that were already in circulation or used – for example packaging, foils or containers – and are collected, sorted and recycled after use. The material is shredded, washed, dried, regranulated and homogenised to produce a high-quality, reusable plastic. In this way, what is supposed to be waste is given a second life. (Circular economy)
Where does our pcr material come from?
Regionality and short transport routes have always been important to us – they fit in perfectly with our sustainability standards. We are therefore particularly pleased to have found a partner in Eastern Switzerland for our PCR material with the company INNOWAY (->innoplastics.ch).
This means: We only use material that was already in circulation in Switzerland. Using state-of-the-art technology, polypropylene materials delivered in pure form are processed and used in a new form. Short-lived disposable catering packaging is turned into long-lasting quality products – like our brushes.
Are all our products made from PCR?
There are few products that we cannot produce with PCR material. This is mainly due to the colour and material properties:
White products – such as toilet brushes, which are expressly preferred in white by many customers – are difficult to produce in the desired colour purity using PCR material. We therefore continue to manufacture these items from new material.
Transparent products – such as items made of polyester – will also remain unchanged, as they are made of a different material.
As usual, you will find the exact material information in our catalogue, on the product sheets and on the packaging.
Sustainable through renewable resources
A central focus of our production has always been wood processing. For decades, we have continuously expanded and developed our expertise and manufacturing capabilities. This enables us to implement innovative solutions and respond flexibly to the changing needs of our customers.
Sustainability plays a crucial role in this. Ebnat has been FSC®-certified since 2005. This certification guarantees that the wood we use comes from responsibly managed forests and meets strict ecological and social standards throughout the entire supply chain.
Our beech wood comes exclusively from the Toggenburg region.
