A recap of traceless® at the Deutscher Zukunftspreis 2025: insights from our team, our natural polymer innovation, and what being a finalist means for the future of sustainable materials.

At this year’s Responsible Leadership Conference, one theme stood out: real change starts with how we lead. While many companies are transforming toward sustainability, traceless® was built on it from day one. In our interview, Head of People & Culture Patric shares how purpose, trust, and self-leadership shape our culture as we grow.

traceless® showcases at K 2025 how its innovative plastic alternative made from agricultural residues is scaling into an industrially viable, sustainable material.

FACHPACK 2025 made one thing clear: the packaging industry is ready for change.  From 23–25 September, the European packaging industry gathered in Nuremberg to showcase solutions, discuss new regulations, and exchange ideas on what the future of packaging could look like. For us it was three days of exactly that - catching up with partners, meeting new faces, and showing that with traceless® change can start now.

Being nominated for the Deutscher Zukunftspreis 2025 is a huge milestone for traceless® — one that recognizes not only what we do, but also how we do it. In this blogpost, we take you behind the scenes of the official nominee program in Munich: three days of presentations, jury meetings, and inspiring exchanges — plus personal insights from the traceless representatives Anne, Sina, and Niklas.
