bibabox

How everything began

We have known each other since our joint graphic design studies. Our children Hannes and Max have expanded our areas of interest: Birgit has become an absolute toy fan and also Jule leaves her computer often times in standby.

The box is the best

For packages and gifts that arrived in large boxes, our kids were happy about the content – but the box was often the best for play. It’s amazing how enduring, creative and enthusiastic children can play with a simple cardboard box.

When Hannes’s favorite box collapsed after a long box life as a one-room apartment, a grocery store, a ship, a puppet theater (…) at some point in the game with Max and could no longer be mended, the grief was great. Until Max’s father, who works with paperboard, brought along a new, self-made play house: the bibabox idea was born.

Nice and stowable

The best thing about the new house: It looked much better than the old box. And while the box occupied a considerable part of the nursery even after playing, the new beautiful house can simply be folded flat and stowed behind the cupboard. We were excited!

Much more than just houses

So we started looking at cardboard as a material and soon had a long list of ideas on what to do with this great, eco-friendly, versatile material. We are now realizing these ideas under the bibabox brand. bibabox means:

• designed with love and heart in Dresden
• 100% made in Germany
• made of stable, white corrugated cardboard
• ready for mating, painting and creative shapes
• simply fold it up after playing and save space
• naturally recycled and recyclable

Sustainability

Environment friendly fun

Toys naturally have a limited life, because the interests of your child will change and develop just like your child. Cardboard therefore is the ideal material for toys, because cardboard will also not last forever, but still it is surprisingly robust.

bibabox products are made from recycled cardboard. If the cardboard toy is not used or interesting anymore, you can simply dispose of it with the waste-paper collection. Our contribution to less plastic waste.

Made in Germany

When selecting our producers, it is important to us that the products are manufactured in our region and do not need to travel around the world first.

Without production processes in the Far East, we can also guarantee that the people who manufacture our products work under good conditions and for fair pay.

And the best thing about it: With effective planning, we are able to offer our products with a quiet conscience at attractive prices.

CO2 neutral shipping

Our shipping partners DPD and ILOXX ship CO2-neutral. A CO2 calculator determines the amount of emissions produced by each parcel. It takes into consideration both the CO2 value of the shipping itself and of depot operation.

The CO2 emissions are compensated by purchasing emission certificates. Our partner DPD cooperates with the environmental organisation of CDC Climat. The selected environmental projects help to reduce greenhouse gases.

We always try to avoid unnecessary packaging. Our packaging is sourced from direct recycling material. The required paper and cardboard comes from other companies that no longer need it.

By the way:

Our finances are handled by GLS Bank; they promote social and ecologically sound banking.
