Each Christmas Advent season, Mondi, the international packaging and paper Group, supports the "Ö3-Wundertüte" charitable campaign by making a large donation of paper. This year, Mondi has donated 60 tons of its Advantage Smooth White specialty kraft paper, which is used to make 5.5 million mobile phone donation bags. During the week of November 14, all households across Austria will receive an Ö3-Wundertüte in their post boxes.
The Ö3-Wundertüte campaign encourages people to donate old or unused mobile phones by mailing them at no cost in the free Wundertüte bags. For each phone collected, money is donated to two important charitable organizations in Austria: Licht ins Dunkel and Caritas. Last year, around 388,000 mobile phones were collected, raising a total of €582,000 for the charities.
The right paper is essential for the Ö3-Wundertüte. Mondi’s Advantage Smooth White combines excellent stiffness with attractive printing and branding. It gives the Wundertüte an optimal appearance and protects the mobile phones during transport. It is also a more environmentally friendly alternative to other containers without sacrificing strength.
“We were really impressed by how strong Mondi’s specialty kraft paper is and how well it supports this cause of collecting mobile phone donations by post," says Angelika Simma, head of communication, Caritas Austria.
Mondi also supports the campaign by collecting around 400 mobile phones at its Austrian sites each year. “Mondi has been an important sponsor of the Ö3-Wundertüte campaign every year since 2010," says Albert Klinkhammer, marketing and communication director, Mondi Europe & International. "Our company is happy to be able to support this wonderful charitable campaign – both by providing the paper for the Wundertüte and by donating our own old phones.”
The 60 tons of donated Mondi paper is enough to cover 100 football fields, and if rolled out, the paper could stretch the distance from Vienna to London.
