Milestones so far

TKD's Second Life concept makes a significant contribution to the conservation of resources:

Water consumption

Thanks to recycling, we have saved an impressive 142,858,600 liters of water since 2018*. This is equivalent to the annual water consumption of thousands of households and underscores our commitment to responsible resource use.

CO₂ savings

Since 2018, our sustainable efforts have saved 3,039.93 metric tons of CO₂***. This is equivalent to the emissions produced by a car driving an average of more than 24 million kilometers - a significant step towards climate protection.

Raw material savings

Since 2018, we have saved a total of 2,954,240 kilograms of raw materials through sustainable processes**. By reusing valuable resources, we reduce the need for new production and make an important contribution to conserving natural resources.

Saving electrical waste

Our commitment to the circular economy has enabled us to avoid 10,835.9 kilograms of electronic waste since 2018****. By giving devices a second life, we not only reduce waste, but also the need for resource-intensive new manufacturing.

Sustainable Accessories - Environmental Consciousness Without Compromise

Our accessories are 100% sustainable-from cases and chargers to screen protectors. Made from recycled materials and designed for longevity, sustainability isn’t an extra, it’s standard.
