Sustainability at PocketBook

PocketBook and the environment

As a global company, we are committed to protecting the environment and continuously reducing our environmental footprint. We are constantly scrutinizing our processes and developing measures to reduce energy consumption, waste and emissions generated by our real estate, logistics and transportation.

E-readers with integrated Onleihe app

With the help of the “Onleihe” feature in your e-reader, you can borrow e-books from your library. More and more libraries have come to offer that service. This does not only save your time, but also saves you from having to go to the library, thus reducing your CO₂ footprint.

Reducing the number of returns

We are always working to make the processes in our online store sustainable. For example, we have product filters on our e-reader pages or the option to compare different devices. This helps you find the right e-reader. Reducing the number of returns is a key component in reducing CO₂ consumption.

Here you can find the e-reader that suits you.

Service center in Europe

Repairing your e-reader is usually worthwhile and sustainable, too. If you use your device for a long time, you do something good for the environment. Take advantage of our repair service instead of throwing away your device if it has small defects. And the best thing is: Our service center is located in Europe and therefore does not require long shipment.

This way to the service center.

What else we do

To prepare our company even better for the future, we are constantly scrutinizing our internal processes and striving to make them more sustainable on an ongoing basis. This includes reducing packaging waste or developing more sustainable equipment and packaging or reducing printed advertising material.

And this is on our to-do-list

PocketBook stands for sustainability worldwide. But we want to become even better! To make sure we succeed, we have the following plans for the coming years:

checking-out alternative production locations
continuously developing our product range
reducing the material input
developing products of renewable and recycled materials
developing energy-saving devices
reducing CO₂ emissions in production and during transportation
continuously improving service quality
aligning our marketing efforts sustainably
increasingly using sustainable transportation routes and reducing air freight
