8.6 years. (So much food is thrown away every year that in a CO2e comparison the whole of Austria could travel by train for 8.6 years).

11s
Profit
11er Indulgence Box1
Prize question
Where does the company and brand name "11er" come from?
Solution
The special company name goes back to an old regional custom. Many years ago, it was common in Vorarlberg for people or farms to be distinguished by "house names". According to old records, the Grabher family got its house name more than 150 years ago. At that time, the family had 11 children and was thus given the unusual house name "Elfer". The house name has stuck and today the "11er" is not only an integral part of our packaging, but still a sign of the family behind 11er.
