Vegan Condoms in "Chips Bags"
What do condoms and chips have in common? Or something like that is the linguistic style of the loopy eco-label "einhorn condoms" from Berlin. The team of einhorn (translation: unicorn) revolutionizes the condom market, in which it produces fair and vegan condoms for safe and sustainable sex. Sounds boring? – Then take a look at the creative packaging. The condoms are packaged in bags that look like bags of chips and have charming names like "Foodporn", "The Golden stitch", "Forbidden Kiss" or „Dickicht“ (translation:thicket). Names that perfectly match to the witty metaphorical language of the product packaging: golden fries, copper engraving or an enchanted forest in New Zealand. They are impressive and do not longer need to be hidden in the cart. Thus vanishes the embarrassing moment at the checkout when buying condoms.
Fair and Sustainable Condoms
The vision of the startup from Berlin (Germany) from a fairstainable (fair and sustainable) condom is the answer to the question: Having sex and do something good? Within the self-imposed Fairstainability program the self-defined seal shows the current progress in terms of sustainability in percentage terms. The prerequisite for the Fairstainability program is transparency. Therefore the „Einhörner“ communicate, which degree of fairness and ecology is achieved, what challenges there are and what the goals for the future are. For this purpose, they collaborate not only with business partners and their employees, but get input from NGOs, local government and scientific institutions.
Among the challenges and goals it is also to improve the carbon footprint of the transport routes and to optimize the entire value chain. Fairstainability is a holistic approach for Einhorn.
Sustainable Raw Materials and Social Working Conditions
Feedstock for einhorn condoms is the natural raw material latex harvested on the rubber plantations in the state of Kedah in northern Malaysia. The latex is prepared locally by the company Lee Latex. Manufacture and the quality check of condoms is carried out by the company Richter Rubber of course according to ISO standard.
Einhorn wants to improve the living and working conditions of the workers, for example, by insurance and education. They also want the farmers on site to earn fair wages and that rubber cultivation does not pollute nature.
And workers' wages should be higher than the usual local payment. In addition to this social challenge biodiversity should be increased. As part of a pilot project it is planned, for example, to plant biodiversity islands and replace the already low use of pesticides by ecological alternatives. These measures, as well as the review of latex Lee are an important contribution to fair and sustainable rubber cultivation.
Transparent Supply Chain and Sustainability in the einhorn Headquarter
In order that the vegan fair trade condoms ready for use reach the libidinous consumers, they have to travel many roads. The path between the rubber plantation and the further-processing companies in Malaysia is still manageable short at 40 km. By ship and by truck the finished condoms are delivered in the einhorn headquarter to Hamburg (Germany). The further shipping is done climate neutral. To improve the carbon footprint one looks for example for an optimal and recyclable packaging for shipment.
In cooperation with the Lichtenberger workshop for sheltered people einhorn also pursues social aspects in Germany.
Green Lifestyle and Protection for Every Day
Condoms are safe contraceptive and protect hormone-free against unwanted pregnancies. Also the rubber protects against sexually transmitted diseases. True to the company's motto "make magic happen" einhorn provides vegan condoms as a weekly ration (7 pieces) or taking into account 3 weeks abstinence at 49 pieces as a year's supply. Declared as at conventional condoms with "condoms with 54 millimeter diameter, natural-coloured, electronically tested, made of natural rubber latex“ einhorn condoms cherish additionally magic and make you to want more.
With the concept of offering sustainably produced vegan condoms in „chips bags“, the makers of einhorn answer the claims of quality, material and style and have their finger on the pulse of the time. In future the everyday lifestyle product will also be available in special sizes and special flavours.
By the way, Einhorn is certified by the animal welfare organization PETA and bears the seal "cruelty free and vegan". This makes carnal desig vegan and a little fairer. And after pleasure duty calls: The Johnny can be disposed of compostable.
