Sustainability & Social Responsibility
Talking is silver, acting is gold: Since our founding in 2014, we have been committed to the careful use of natural resources and sustainable environmental protection.
100% Organic: All raw materials from organic farming
Since our founding, our highest priority has been to ensure that all ingredients for our products are produced in an ecologically sound manner. Through the uncompromising use of organic fruits and vegetables, we protect the ecosystem and wildlife.
Organic also offers advantages in terms of taste: The high quality of the raw materials and the value-preserving production of our juices ensure that you can enjoy 100% unadulterated nature. More information about I·DO Organic can be found on our blog
Member of the Dual System Der Grüne Punkt for the high-quality recycling of our packaging
For many years, we have been working with Der Grüne Punkt to recycle our packaging and thus keep raw materials in the economic cycle.
The amount of CO2 emissions avoided last year due to our participation in the dual system is equivalent to the amount that 2 hectares of forest filter from the air in one year. We saved over 12,000 kg of crude oil and prevented approximately 24 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

We save food thanks to "Too Good To Go"
I·DO actively fights against food waste. Since our juices are fresh products, it can sometimes happen that the best-before date is approaching and we still have delicious juices in stock. Instead of discarding high-quality juices, we have decided to save as much food as possible and offer you our juices via the Too Good To Go app.
The principle is very simple: "Save delicious, overproduced food at a lower price." With just one click, you can help us reduce food waste in Munich. Saving food and trying new products has never been easier. We look forward to doing something good for the environment together with you.

Further Social Commitment
Donation to Arche Moosach (Munich): As a social institution, Arche provides up to 120 children and young people with a wholesome and warm meal every day, as well as space for playing and learning. We regularly support the institution with our fresh juices. You can find more information about Arche Moosach on their website.
Participation in the campaign "childrens for a better world": This nationwide campaign focuses on healthy nutrition for children. For many years, we have actively supported the project of the basic retail chain. You can find more information about our participation in the magazine article.
Responsible dealings with our partners & suppliers: We know most of our farmers and suppliers personally and work closely with them. We value long-term cooperation and personal contact.
Bottles & Packaging: Our Innovative and Sustainable Solutions
We are committed to the continuous improvement of our products and their manufacturing. This philosophy naturally applies not only to the juice itself but also to the packaging. All of this, of course, under the aspect of preserving and carefully utilizing our environment.
We are constantly working to make our packaging as sustainable as possible, to minimize waste and to offer our customers the best possible overall experience. Our packaging not only looks good, but also serves the best possible use for each product.
R-PET: True Freshness and Environmental Protection in One
More recycling for more environmental protection: Since September 2021, all I·DO juice bottles have been made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET). Through these efforts, we are taking another step to reduce and recycle packaging waste.
I·DO Juice Bottles Made from 100% Recycled PET
Our I·DO juice bottles are made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET). Instead of traditional plastic, we opted for the more sustainable R-PET, also known as recycled plastic. Through these efforts, we are taking another step to reduce and recycle packaging waste. True to the motto: More recycling for more environmental protection. The use of recycled PET helps to conserve natural resources and thus contributes significantly to environmental protection. Production is particularly energy-efficient and thus contributes positively to the eco-balance.
Recycled PET supports the circular economy and reduces the carbon footprint
Recycled PET is not newly produced PET from crude oil, a finite resource, but rather PET that has already been used for packaging and has been reprocessed for reuse through an established recycling process. Life cycle assessments clearly show that recycled PET has a lower carbon footprint than newly produced PET.
Cold-pressed juices in resource-saving rPET
All I·DO juices in R-PET bottles are of organic raw food quality. This is because only this packaging material allows for preservation using over 6,000 bar high pressure (HPP process) – a particularly gentle method to preserve the best of fresh products. This retains full flavor and all nutrients. Due to the low weight of the R-PET packaging, it is currently considered a resource-saving packaging material for the chilled fresh I·DO organic juices.
Deposit makes it possible: More recycling and sustainability
At I·DO, we have been committed to the environment from the very beginning. We are proud to now take the next step and become part of Germany's deposit-return system starting in January. The goal is to keep as much plastic as possible in circulation and reduce the new production of plastic. For this reason, you will find the deposit-return symbol on the I·DO juice bottle from January onwards, which allows us to return our most sustainable juice bottle to the recycling loop and reuse it.
Bag-in-Box: your 3-liter supply for home
More juice, longer enjoyment, less packaging waste – these are our 3L Bag-in-Box juices. Dispense your chilled fresh juice daily and enjoy the authentic I·DO raw food quality.
I·DO 3L Bag-in-Box Storage Pack
Some of our most popular juices, such as I·DO Celery Juice, are available in a convenient 3l bag-in-box bulk pack. Wondering what exactly this bulk pack is? It's simple: it's a dispenser with 3 liters of juice, freshly filled and packed in a cardboard box. The dispenser makes pouring easy and is absolutely simple and straightforward to use. Glass under the tap and off you go!
3L Bag-in-Box for more juice and less waste
This box saves you 12 single R-PET bottles, meaning more juice and less packaging waste. The box is more environmentally friendly than a single bottle because it requires significantly fewer resources and at the same time provides you with a good amount of juice for home use. The 3-liter bag-in-box is one of our most innovative packaging solutions, as it saves costs, space, and weight, both during delivery and storage.
Bag-in-Box for True Raw Food Quality
One of the biggest advantages of Bag-in-Box is that the packaging allows for cold pressing using the HPP (High Pressure Processing) method. This way, you get juice of true raw food quality, completely without heating for preservation. All valuable vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals are retained. Thanks to the airtight packaging and the tap, the juice remains fresh for several weeks even after opening.
Insulation board made from sustainable raw materials (cardboard)
Shipping several liters of juice or multi-day juice cleanses is not easy. Nevertheless, we have succeeded in developing an insulated cardboard box that allows us to completely dispense with styrofoam or other insulation materials. The insulated box should preferably be disposed of in waste paper and is 100% recyclable.
Cooling elements keep your juices fresh during shipping
To ensure your fresh I·DO juices arrive chilled, we include ice packs in every cool package. These consist of a water-based gel. They are absolutely harmless and food-safe. Give them a new life by reusing them. Alternatively, you can dispose of them in your household waste without any concerns.
