Sustainable polyethyelene made from sugarcane debuts in Europe
Dutch potato supplier Schaap Holland adopts packaging made of Coveris’ Green PE.
The carbon footprint is one of the most important topics for the future of the packaging industry. Not only are environmentally conscious consumers increasingly giving preference to packaging produced by energy-efficient means, self-regulation by food and packaging manufacturers in relation to sustainability is bringing the search for environmentally-compatible packaging solutions into focus.
Companies facing international competition cannot miss this development, and need to act now. The Dutch quality potato supplier, Schaap Holland, is one of the manufacturers that have already completed the move to Green PE in conjunction with Coveris. The company supplies the processing industry and the trade in the Netherlands and abroad with numerous types of products. In this sector, exacting demands are placed on freshness, durability and appearance, in particular regarding pre-processed potato products. However, manufacturers and consumers also attach importance to protecting nature as the basis of a good product.
