Making logistics resources more sustainable is high on the order of business at Royal FloraHolland , part of which is reducing the amount of waste create by the use of logistics resources . The development and introduction of a low-pitched multi - purpose set - up rack helps with this . It can save at least 100,000 kilos of single - use composition board a class , aver Paul van den Berg , senior Advisor of Packaging at Royal FloraHolland .
We first go back in meter with Paul . " Around 2010 , we started using cardboard collars , especially for pink wine . Its popularity grew rapidly , and in 2018 , we saw a peak in its use . But at the same meter , dissent from the chain also grow . More and more trading companies said they wanted to use less composition board . We saw a shift from high to modest cardboard and even to no cardboard at all . "
These developments are also related to the fact that the mountain range is changing . Transactions are get smaller . " antecedently , exporters were more potential to get off whole bucket to end customers . Now , it is increasingly a lot here , a caboodle there . As a outcome , the composition board collar more often go off already at the trading companies , the protective added note value of these collars is more limited , and it is immediately waste , " Paul explains . " wastefulness streams are increase at these exporter , and it break up processes , we see from those companies . "
Substantial savings on cardboardThe call for less cardboard is altogether in line with Royal FloraHolland ’s aspiration to be more economical with packaging materials , he says . " We endeavor to encourage as much as potential not to use material if it is not necessary . And if you then want to apply packaging , choose multi - consumption because that is almost always the most sustainable . base on the wishes of buyers and growers , we previously spring up top collars for roses of 70 cm and longer , which are placed on a multi - utilization rack . This is an choice to the high cardboard neckband . This led to a saving of 60 % on composition board . Now we are also developing an choice to the low choker for roses , suitable for lengths 55 and 60 cm . We did this in cooperation with the wholesale exploiter and the FPC Roos , among others . We expect to save 100,000 kilos of one - way composition board per year with the Modern multi - use set - up rack . "
This new multi - use wrack , with keg code Fc595 , fits the multi - use peak pail Fc588 . " This is a deliberate pick because we see that this one is the most used in the meantime and also has the most growth . Most of the food market can go with it . In terms of material , color , and design , the set - up rack is in line with the existing syndicate barrel . "
Many incontrovertible reactionsPaul tour several prospective users . What are the reaction there ? " I hear a lot of positive sounds , both users on the headwaiter ’s side and on the buyer ’s side are very enthusiastic . "
On the market in June 2024The multi - use rack for 55 and 60 - cm pink wine is expected to be summate to Royal FloraHolland ’s range of pool box after next year ’s peak . " The image have been developed out , and the mold has been ordered . The introduction is now design around June 2024 , " Paul reason .
