DIY package upcycling or "A second life for HANS"

Is your HANS protein mix empty again? Then of course you need to order more as quickly as possible! But putting the empty bag straight in the bin is really too bad for the HANS packaging. Because our products are really beautiful. After all, our team works with great attention to detail to give our brain food the packaging that does justice to its taste and function.

That's why we want to show you how you can give our HANS packaging a worthy second life with these three upcycling DIY ideas:

HANS organizes your chaos:

Probably the simplest recycling project of all time: After washing out, you can use the packaging of our HANS protein mixes to store dry food, for example. How about using the empty cocoa protein mix as a container for homemade loose herbal tea?

HANS, the better flower pot:

Now that plant care seems to have become the new trend hobby during the Corona period, plant offshoots are turning into cool souvenirs. Our packaging is perfect as a sustainable flower pot replacement, is the perfect way to use up leftovers from the last sewing project or a discarded item of clothing and looks really pretty at the same time!

And this is how it works:

  1. Cut the packaging to the appropriate height
  2. Cover with fabric remnants (works best with a hot glue gun)
  3. Put the plants in - done 😊

HANS as an environmentally friendly gift tager:

Gifts are all the more enjoyable when they are beautifully wrapped - and this can also be done sustainably! The idea of reusing packaging material as wrapping paper is not new, but with our HANS gift tags it becomes something special. So: start collecting your HANS packaging, e.g. for the Christmas season, because (as always) it will come sooner than you think 😊

  1. Cut a circle out of the upper part of the protein packaging using a cup, optionally reinforce it with cardboard and punch holes (preferably with a hole punch) 
  2. Wrap the gift with newspaper or wrapping material 
  3. Tie parcel string or raffia around it, thread on the pendant and decorate with a twig if desired - have fun giving the gift!
