News from dotch

We've been awarded "Startup of the Year 2026" by the BACB (Business Angels Club Berlin-Brandenburg). We are incredibly grateful to be part of this fantastic network and for the expertise, trust, and appreciation we receive from the BACB. It is strong partnerships like this that truly inspire us to keep moving forward.

dotch was awarded the Green Buddy Award by the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district office and the BSR. This annual award recognizes companies, ideas, and initiatives that champion sustainable business practices in Berlin. We were honored in the "Waste avoidance - reduce, reuse, recycle" category. As a Berlin-based company, this is a proud moment for us.

The dotch reuse system has been awarded the coveted "Mehrweginnovationspreis" by Deutsche Umwelthilfe and Stiftung Initiative Mehrweg. We are honored to be among the recipients of this award, which has recognized pioneering efforts and initiatives in the field of reuse since 2006.

Alongside 24 strong partners we demonstrate the existing demand for reusable packaging outside of beverages and dairy, highlighting the arguments in favour of this from an industry perspective.

Why do we reach for certain bottles in the supermarket? We are getting to the bottom of this question with strong partners: our new community project MIKKE was launched in February. The goal: to make reusable packaging visible, understandable, and - above all - attractive directly at the point of sale (PoS).
