Sustainability with MEISSEN
  • Sustainable options now exist for nearly every aspect of our lives, protecting the environment and minimizing the demand for raw materials. Festive occasions like Birthdays or anniversaries are no exception, and a sustainable celebration will make your event all the more thoughtful. Sustainability starts for example with the flower decoration sourced from garden centres or natural materials such as fruits and nuts. LEDs are a more sustainable option for the festive decoration, using around 90% less energy than traditional halogen light strings. Choose candles made from natural materials like soy or beeswax to provide atmospheric lighting.

    Sharing wish lists prevents unwanted gifts that would otherwise be exchanged or even thrown away. With sustainable gifting, you’re giving long-lasting enjoyment that harms neither nature nor humankind. Instead of conventional wrapping paper, get crafty with recycled paper, old calendar pages, magazines or packing material such as tissue paper. Used boxes, cartons and tins are also wonderfully unique ways to package a gift.
“Choose Meissen porcelain for sustainable gift-giving: made with natural materials at a single site, from mine to mug, following Germany’s standards for environmental and social responsibility.”
  • For more than 300 years, MEISSEN has played a leading role in European porcelain arts. Preserving this rich cultural heritage and carrying it forward into the future is as rooted in the manufactory’s DNA as principles of sustainability are embedded in the production. Kaolin, the raw material for the production of brilliantly white porcelain, has been sourced for over 250 years from the manufactory’s own mine at Seilitz, just 15 km away. The entire production, both then and now, is carried out at a single location in Meissen’s Triebischtal valley. Germany’s high environmental and social standards apply throughout the entire process, making every piece of Meissen porcelain 100% made in Germany, and 100% responsibly produced.

    Besides sustainable production, buying Meissen manufactory porcelain is also an investment in timeless craftsmanship. Given as a gift, the artistic and historical richness of MEISSEN conveys particular esteem. Our Home Deco series offers a wide range of gift ideas, from lavish and ornate to contemporary and sleek, from vases, bowls and jars to vide-poches. Or give the gift of dining pleasure, with a starter piece from a Meissen service or a personalized gourmet set.
