Schwarzwolf are planting trees SCHWARZWOLF COMPENSATE FOR THE CARBON FOOTPRINT!

How do we achieve this? First, we calculated the carbon footprint of each product separately. This is a number expressed
in gCO e. We used the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology of the worldwide organization ECOACT. We decomposed
