Saatgut Konfetti

Saatgut Konfetti is an innovative start-up dedicated to the development and distribution of compostable confetti with integrated plant seeds. Founded by Philipp, a native of Cologne, the idea emerged in 2018 as a response to the environmental impact of conventional confetti, especially during Carnival.

The company offers several types of confetti:

• Saatgut Konfetti: The classic product consists of a starch mixture and contains up to 24 different native plant seeds. These seeds germinate independently and provide food and habitat for (wild) bees, insects, and small animals[1][2][5].
• Saatglück Konfetti: A variant in the shape of clovers that serves as lucky charm confetti.
• Gut Konfetti: An alternative without plant seeds, particularly suitable in areas where scattering seeds is not allowed. It composts completely and is more environmentally friendly than conventional rice grain confetti[1].

The main mission of Saatgut Konfetti is to connect sustainability with fun and joy. The company aims to have a positive impact on the social and physical environment and to make a significant contribution to the preservation and enhancement of biodiversity. Saatgut Konfetti strives to be a sustainable, agile, social, and innovative company[1][4].

Saatgut Konfetti is actively committed to promoting biodiversity and protecting the environment:

• Waste Prevention: The compostable confetti avoids waste and reduces the environmental impact of conventional confetti materials.
• Promotion of Biodiversity: The plants that germinate from the seeds provide food and habitat for (wild) bees, insects, and small animals and contribute to the beautification of urban spaces[1][2][5].
• Local Production: The Saatgut Konfetti is produced in its own manufactory in Kassel, sourcing the seeds from Germany to support the ecosystems of the D-A-CH region[1].

Saatgut Konfetti is distributed through its own online shop, zero-waste stores, concept stores, and other online platforms such as Goodbuy and Bringsl. The target audience includes people who want to connect sustainability with joy and fun, as well as companies looking for sustainable promotional items and gifts[1].

With Saatgut Konfetti, one can celebrate sustainably at various occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations while making a positive contribution to the environment. The company demonstrates that sustainability and joy do not have to be opposites.
