Recyclability is again an important topic at the show . But more sustainable opening are on display . Varieties that require less usage of PGRs , energy and substrate with less peat are some instance . When strolling down the aisles , one can notice that the sustainable drift is appearing in all links of the chemical chain .
Germany is one of the countries that is at the forefront of the more environmentally friendly movement . retailer are banning the black credit card as it can not be notice in the bin and therefore can not be recycled . On top of that , using post - consumer plastics for packaging is being seen as the most effective and unopen - loop agency of recycling .
