Recycling is also a top priority at BIPA and for the packaging of its private-label brand bi good: tubes without caps are made of 60% recycled PET, folding cartons of over 90%, and bottles of as much as 100% (excluding caps and labels).  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full shrink-0 lg:w-1\/2 lg:order-2 \">\n<div class=\"relative w-full h-full bg-gray-200 aspect-w-3 aspect-h-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fwmtr__links\"><a class=\"fwmtr__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/KJMFzJzC5SI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span class=\"fwmtr__link-label\">Watch the video<\/span><span class=\"fwmtr__link-icon\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M5 12h13M13 7l5 5-5 5\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fwmtr__row fwmtr__row--media-right fwmtr__row--content-center fwmtr__row--icon-horizontal-center fwmtr__row--icon-vertical-center fwmtr__row--icon-size-large fwmtr__row--image-fit-cover\" style=\"--fwmtr-media-bg:#F2F2F2;--fwmtr-content-bg:#9AEEFF;--fwmtr-eyebrow:#222222;--fwmtr-title:#222222;--fwmtr-body:#222222;--fwmtr-link:#222222;--fwmtr-icon:#222222;--fwmtr-focus:#222222;--fwmtr-eyebrow-font:&quot;REWE Group Copy&quot;, Arial, sans-serif;--fwmtr-eyebrow-style:normal;--fwmtr-eyebrow-weight:700;--fwmtr-title-font:&quot;REWE Group Headlines&quot;, Arial, sans-serif;--fwmtr-title-style:normal;--fwmtr-title-weight:700;--fwmtr-body-font:&quot;REWE Group Copy&quot;, Arial, sans-serif;--fwmtr-body-style:normal;--fwmtr-body-weight:400;--fwmtr-link-font:&quot;REWE Group Copy&quot;, Arial, sans-serif;--fwmtr-link-style:normal;--fwmtr-link-weight:700;--fwmtr-eyebrow-size:0.875rem;--fwmtr-title-size:clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.5rem);--fwmtr-body-size:clamp(1rem, 1.5vw, 1.125rem);--fwmtr-link-size:1rem;\"><div class=\"fwmtr__media\"><img src=\"https:\/\/rewe-group.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/02_NH_2609_Bluehendes-Oesterreich-10-Jahre.webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/div><div class=\"fwmtr__content\"><h2 class=\"fwmtr__title\">8.
