Läppie's Mission
Who We Are
Hello, we are Annika & Björn – founders and inventors of Läppie – and we love being outdoors!
In 2023, we fulfilled a dream and hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) together. From Mexico to Canada, 4,200 kilometers through California, Oregon, and Washington. Six months of living, walking, eating, sleeping outdoors – simply being in the moment.
If we had to describe this feeling in one word, it would be: Freedom.
But with freedom also came a realization: nature in the USA was astonishingly clean. No trash, no toilet paper by the wayside – just nature as it should be. This is not due to stricter rules, but to the attitude that many people there live by: Leave No Trace.
Back in Europe, the contrast was stark: toilet paper everywhere. In the forest, on rocks, on hiking trails. And frankly: that really frustrated us...
Our Vision
We dream of a world where no one leaves toilet paper or tissues in nature anymore. Where mindfulness, respect, and shared outdoor experiences are self-evident.
Nature is not a quiet place for thoughtless habits, but a place for encounters, relaxation, and vitality.
Our retreats in Europe are precious. Let's protect them together!
For us, sustainability does not start with rules, but with attitude. And every small contribution counts.
Why a Läppie Makes a Difference
A Läppie replaces countless rolls of toilet paper – and prevents cellulose, plastic, or tissues from ending up in the forest.
With every person who rethinks, something changes. And sometimes a small cloth is all it takes.
By the way: We were awarded the 2024 Sustainability Prize by KielRegion – because others also believe that small ideas can have a really big impact.
