Aluminium model of the famous Eiffel Tower - fully recyclable!

People world-wide are concerned about the ecological situation and are increasingly willing to take action for a better environment. This can already start at home, at school or at the work-place by collecting and sorting household and packaging waste. Supported by decision-makers and facilitated by numerous initiatives organised by green and consumer groups and the industry, people can themselves actively contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
