“It’s a wrap!”

At RINGANA, organic cotton hand towels are used to protect the glass bottles and their valuable contents. Great dexterity is required to do this “wrapping”.

Packaging is not only something pretty to look at – it also serves an important purpose: it protects the products and their valuable ingredients, and helps to ensure that they reach you undamaged. When it comes to the glass bottles containing RINGANA fresh skin care, it’s essential that breakages are avoided. In doing so, for the sake of the environment we don’t use conventional packaging. Our little bottles are wrapped in GOTS-certified organic cotton hand towels made in Austria’s Waldviertel region. While the glass bottles can be collected and returned to RINGANA – for 10 bottles collected, the customer receives a free skin care product of their choice (? here’s how the RINGANA REuse concept works) – our customers can reuse the hand towels, so no packaging waste is created.

RINGANA was already recognised with the Luxepack Award way back in 2011 for coming up with the idea of wrapping RINGANA glass bottles in organic cotton hand towels. That makes it possible to dispense with outer packaging which, in the skin care industry, usually comes in the shape of elaborately designed and printed cartons.

The organic cotton which is woven into RINGANA hand towels has been certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). This quality label guarantees that the cotton for manufacturing our soft terry products has been produced on the basis of controlled organic cultivation from planting to harvest. Great store is also set by socially-responsible manufacturing and transparent labelling of goods. To obtain this label, pre-printing operations must also be certified. Inspections are conducted on-site at regular intervals. The GOTS protects agriculture and people involved in the production of the fibres used, and guarantees fair conditions.

The GOTS standard defines high standards along the entire textile production chain.

REuse makes a lot of sense, saves money, and we’re doing something for the environment. And even at the end of their useful life, old but still absorbent towels can be used for rough cleaning, wiping, or for drying the dog.
