The Company “Mühle” from Stützengrün Introduces Sustainable Shaving Brush
The renowned company “Mühle” from Stützengrün in the Erzgebirge region has recently launched a new product in their premium range – a sustainable shaving brush. With a focus on sustainability, “Mühle” is revolutionizing traditional shaving practices by incorporating eco-friendly materials into their products.
Combining Innovation and Environmental Responsibility
The latest highlight from “Mühle” is their unique shaving brush, which features bristles made from a blend of plastic fibers and natural fibers derived from corn starch. These innovative materials result in the brush containing 38% natural fibers. The company’s goal is to continuously improve and increase the use of sustainable materials in their products, as “Mühle” Managing Director, Christian Müller (50), explains:
“Unser Ziel ist es, diese Entwicklung weiter zu forcieren, wenn dies technisch möglich ist”
Additionally, “Mühle” has taken additional steps towards sustainability. In 2023, the company inaugurated a new facility that is heated using geothermal energy. Furthermore, they have been using plastic-free packaging for their products since some time.
A Tradition of Excellence and Sustainability
“Mühle” has been a leading presence in the industry since its establishment in 1945. Now in its third generation of family ownership, the company continues to thrive in Stützengrün with a workforce of 70 dedicated employees. Under the leadership of Christian Müller and his brother, “Mühle” upholds their tradition of producing high-quality shaving products while actively taking steps to reduce their environmental impact.
