You have only a few hours left to apply for the new Feronia Award for Sustainability from Oberbank and OÖN. Among the participants are:

The Altheim furniture maker Wiesner-Hager has paid close attention to the environmental compatibility of its products for years. In 2022, a concept was developed for the first two products that enables the individual components to be reused later in the sense of the circular economy. With the furniloop office table, plastics are avoided, used tables are taken back and their parts reprocessed. This reduces CO2 emissions and the use of materials by around 80 percent.

Christian Stadler from Morning dew organic vegetables in Hofkirchen/tr. also submitted to the Feronia Prize. With the innovative “strip cultivation” the biodiversity in the field increases, extreme weather can be countered better (erosion protection). All vegetable “waste” is recycled, nothing is thrown away.
