In an era where environmental consciousness is at the forefront of consumer and business decisions, it’s crucial for every industry to take steps towards sustainability. The floral industry is no exception. As a leader in packaging solutions for retail flowers, Decowraps is committed to promoting sustainable practices and materials. In this blog, we will explore the importance of using sustainable materials and recycling options in the floral industry and how Decowraps is contributing to this green revolution.

CLIMATE NEUTRAL BY 2040

In 2040, Dutch greenhouse cultivation of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and plants aims to become climate-neutral by reducing and making energy consumption more sustainable.

RENEWEABLE ENERGY

Next to strongly reducing the energy consumption, the greenhouse horticulture industry plans to replace natural gas with geothermal sources, sustainable electricity from the national grid, and renewable heat from biomass and industries.

RE-USING INDUSTRIAL C0₂

By eliminating CO₂ production within the greenhouse sector, green CO₂ will need to be sourced from waste facilities, industry, and potentially the atmosphere to support crop growth. Specific goals and activities have been outlined in the annual plan to achieve this ambition.

DECOWRAPS’ COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

Decowraps recognizes these challenges and is dedicated to offering sustainable packaging solutions to the floral industry.

Here’s how we are making a difference:

EMBRACING SUSTAINABLITY

The floral industry has a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on the environment by embracing sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. Decowraps is proud to be a part of this movement, offering environmentally friendly packaging solutions and advocating for recycling within the industry.
