Koziol Brand Goes All Out for Ecology

In 2022, Koziol became a 100% sustainable development brand. To achieve this, they invested significant resources and hard work to ensure their products are not only beautiful and practical but also contribute to the ecological use of raw materials, reduced CO2 emissions, and environmental and climate protection.

A Global Leader? Why Not!

Koziol has declared that every one of its products will be manufactured from materials containing at least 50% BIO-CIRCULAR plastics.

What exactly are bio-circular plastics?

Bio-circular materials are increasingly making waves, and for good reason! They are the solutions our planet desperately needs. These materials are renewable within a closed-loop system, meaning they are sourced from existing products and then recycled. Hence the name – circularity.

How does this work for Koziol?
Their products are made from plastics derived from used biological oils sourced in Europe (specifically rapeseed and sunflower oil, in contrast to traditional plastic which comes from mineral oils obtained from crude oil).

The oils the brand "works" with to create its eco-products were previously used in the food industry and gastronomy. This means they are reprocessed instead of ending up as waste or in the proverbial bin.

But that's not the end of the story! At the final stage of use, Koziol products can be recycled, sending them back into the loop to become the basis for new products. That's the magic of the closed-loop system!

Sawdust instead of plastic

Koziol doesn't rest on its laurels; it's always seeking new solutions to reduce plastic usage. For instance, they employ a unique technology that adds sawdust and wood flour, sourced from paper production waste in Sweden, to their plastic. The resulting material has a lower plastic content but retains all its valued properties – it’s certified for food contact, dishwasher safe, and fully recyclable.

100% climate neutrality

What exactly is climate neutrality, also known as carbon or emission neutrality? Simply put, it's a balance between CO2 emissions and the absorption of carbon dioxide by natural "sinks" such as soils, forests, and oceans.


In 2021, Koziol achieved 100% emission neutrality certification, thanks to a radical reduction in its carbon footprint during the production process and the establishment of new, sustainable tree plantations, which act as natural CO2 absorbers. The company is also regularly audited to ensure it meets its ecological commitments.

Innovative approach

What drives the brand is a continuous pursuit of product enhancement, pushing the boundaries and thinking outside the box. Every year, new innovative collections and ideas emerge on the market, such as superglas, a modern alternative to glass that looks just as good but is far more practical.

Koziol Club

Although the Club collection doesn't feature cut glass dishes, at first glance, they might fool you. The plastic used to produce this series behaves exactly like glass – it refracts light and shimmers beautifully in the sun. What’s more, items from the Club collection are decidedly more functional than their glass counterparts… because they are truly difficult to break.

Koziol Connect Organic

The Koziol Connect Organic tableware and kitchen containers are a great choice for you and the environment! Modern plates, bowls, and mugs are made from Organic plastic with added cellulose, which is fully recyclable. This makes the tableware items very lightweight, yet unbreakable, and they can be used in the microwave and washed in the dishwasher. They are perfect for everyday use and will also replace disposable plates at outdoor parties or picnics.

Koziol Crystal

The Crystal collection from Koziol features tableware with a regal flair. But fret not – their presence won't overpower any table! The secret to their success lies in a rich palette of vibrant colours that elegantly complement the texture, reminiscent of crystal glass. This means they are just as suitable for a festive dinner as they are for a barbecue.

All Koziol products (and we truly have many!) are waiting for you on our website.

Good design with a clear conscience

Oh yes!


"Good design with a clear conscience" and 100% climate neutrality is Koziol's official motto, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that all brands will view ecology not as a fleeting trend, but as a higher necessity!
