As a shipping company, we have a responsibility to minimize packaging waste and our CO2 emissions.
Therefore, we at CTBI Trading GmbH (Allike Store) have decided to work as sustainably as possible:
1CO2-neutral electricity in our stores, logistics center and offices, as well as hosting our website with 100% green electricity
2Shipping boxes made from recycled paper & 30% grass
3Switch to plastic-free packaging such as garment bags, packing tape and more
4CO2 compensation for all shipments with DHL GoGreen and UPS Carbon Neutral
5We plant trees every month to offset our carbon footprint.
Together with our partner Greenspark, we plant trees every month to improve our carbon footprint. This allows us to support reforestation projects. All trees are recorded in a public register, and the projects are sustainable in the sense that the trees are not only planted but also cared for in the future.
As a next step, we will also give you, our customer, the opportunity to offset the entire CO2 emissions of your purchase. Together with Yook , you can make a conscious decision to further reduce the footprint of the product you buy. While we ensure the climate neutrality of our supply chain, our facilities, and shipping to you, the product itself is not yet climate neutral. By paying a small percentage of the product price, you can offset the CO2 footprint of your purchase. Yook takes care of all the details for us.

With our Alllike Sustainability Program, we are introducing a new shipping cost model.
To encourage customers to buy only what they truly want, we will be discontinuing free shipping. We will also be charging €2.50 per return sent using our pre-printed return label. This will be invested in improving our sustainable packaging and planting a tree for every return.
This means that if you shop with us, return an item and then rate our service, a total of three trees will be planted.
Even with carbon-neutral shipping, every package sent generates waste and other environmental pollution. To reduce this, we reuse old packaging materials for new packages.
Furthermore, we are making our new shipping materials as environmentally friendly as possible: we use shipping boxes made from recycled cardboard and 30% grass sourced from near Hamburg. The boxes are also manufactured locally. This allows us to keep supply chains short and reduce CO2 emissions.
We use plastic-free tape to seal the boxes; our document pouches are also plastic-free. Finally, we are striving to eliminate the use of plastic from all our packaging as soon as possible.
