Nature in transition – logistics under pressure

Published on: Published in: Sustainability

April is currently showing its best side: the sun is gaining strength, and across the Odenwald, lush green is emerging everywhere. It’s that special time of year when nature vividly demonstrates what regeneration and healthy growth really mean.

Yet while nature relies on short, efficient cycles, the economy often struggles with long distances. Persistently high fuel prices are a stark reminder of just how costly—and environmentally burdensome—global logistics have become.

At Cortec, we take a cue from spring and use what grows right on our doorstep 🌱

Instead of shipping raw materials around the world, the material for our sustainable hangers is based on regional meadow grass sourced directly from the Odenwald. This renewable resource replaces a significant portion of conventional plastic.

The result—for our customers and for us:

  • Short distances: Minimal logistics costs and reduced CO₂ emissions.
  • Reliable supply: Independence from volatile global raw material markets.
  • True sustainability: An innovative material mix that is as regional as its origin.

Maybe now is the right time to think more strongly in terms of regional cycles again.
