Sustainable letterboxes: quality, repair and environmental awareness
Sustainability is more than just a trend - it is a legal standard. The choice of the right material plays a key role, especially for long-lasting products such as letterboxes . Stainless steel, galvanised steel and aluminium offer excellent conditions for environmentally friendly, repairable and aesthetically pleasing solutions.
Briefkasten Manufaktur has always relied on these high-quality materials to produce letterboxes that are not only functional but also sustainable - in line with current legal requirements.
Sustainability meets the law: right to repair 2025
With the new EU directive on the right to repair, which has been partially implemented in Germany since mid-2025, the issue of reparability is becoming even more important. Manufacturers will be obliged to provide spare parts and repair information for several years in order to significantly extend the service life of products.
The regulation is primarily aimed at sectors such as household appliances and electronics. However, the philosophy behind it applies to all durable consumer goods - including letterboxes. Customers increasingly expect products to be repaired rather than replaced.
Briefkasten Manufaktur is setting a good example here: our letterboxes have a modular design so that individual components can be easily replaced. This conserves resources, saves costs and protects the environment.
The sustainable materials at a glance
Stainless steel: corrosion protection and design
- Extremely high corrosion resistance
- Durable and easy to clean
- 100 % recyclable
- Ideal for modern architecture thanks to its elegant finish
Stainless steel remains the first choice when it comes to top quality and durability. It is particularly impressive outdoors thanks to its resistance to weathering and its elegant appearance.
Galvanised steel: robust and economical
- Very resistant to rust thanks to zinc coating
- Less expensive than stainless steel
- High strength and stability
- Also recyclable
Galvanised steel is a sustainable alternative, especially when economic aspects play a major role. Thanks to modern coating processes, the surface can also be coloured without compromising on durability.
Aluminium: Lightweight and versatile
- Very low weight with high stability
- Corrosion-resistant
- Easy to process and mould
- Excellent recyclability
Aluminium scores points above all for its lightness. This is a significant advantage for large-format letterbox systems, as it makes installation easier and reduces the load on walls or façades.
Sustainability pays off - for you and the environment
Choosing a letterbox made of stainless steel, galvanised steel or aluminium is an investment in longevity and value retention. Thanks to the modular design, damaged components can be replaced at any time - an advantage that is both economical and environmentally friendly.
In addition, production in Germany supports short supply chains, reduces transport emissions and strengthens the local economy. Briefkasten Manufaktur consistently relies on green electricity to further minimise the carbon footprint of each manufactured product.
