Do the nip® sustainable products contain melamine?

No melamine is used in the manufacture of nip^® sustainable products.

How can the nip® sustainable products be disposed of?

The nip^® sustainable products are produced from materials with a very high proportion of renewable raw materials. The products are not compostable. The material used is 100% recyclable, currently no suitable collection systems exist. Commodities made of plastic as well as bio-based plastic (e.g. pacifiers, dishes, cutlery) can be disposed of via residual waste, packaging via the yellow bag. Please inform yourself about the recycling systems in your region for the optimal disposal options.

Can food in the nip® sustainable cups and bowls be heated in the microwave?

Our nip^® sustainable products are melamine, which is another reason why food can be heated in the microwave in the cups and bowls without hesitation.

Do the nip® sustainable products have a coating from which components can detach?

nip® sustainable products do not contain any coatings. Therefore, no components can leach out from them.

Why do nip® sustainable products not consist of 100% or only 94% or 90% renewable raw materials?

The main components of the material consist of 100% renewable raw materials. Depending on the nip green product, the materials are based on sugar cane, carbohydrates (sugar, starch) or vegetable oils (no palm oil).

In addition, additives and color granules approved for food contact materials are used. Additives are necessary to achieve their material properties (e.g. fracture behavior, processability) and coloration.

Our information on material composition refers to the minimum content of renewable raw materials after the product has been manufactured.

Are the nip® sustainable products fragile?

In terms of breakage behavior, the nip® sustainable products behave similarly inconspicuously to other plastic tableware made of polypropylene (PP).

Can I boil food learning items (spoons, cups, bowls, plates)?

We recommend not boiling the products, as this is not necessary for an edible item and boiling unnecessarily stresses the material of the products. We recommend rinsing under warm running water or cleaning in the dishwasher.
