Our colleague in Miami, Joyce Aerts, is chairman of the Sustainability Task Force of IFPA (International Fresh Produce Association) on behalf of Paardekooper. Through this task force, she is committed to making the fresh produce sector in the US more sustainable. For example, this task force conducted a survey last year on sustainability among IFP’s ornamental horticulture members and, at the request of the task force, Dr. Alan Campbell gave them a presentation on sustainability and LCA.

Certification

Legislation

Certificates are crucial to guarantee the quality and sustainability of our packaging. We work with various recognised certification authorities to guarantee that our packaging meets the highest environmental and quality standards. As a result, our customers can be sure they are choosing responsibly produced products.

Sustainability and packaging legislation is constantly changing. We keep our customers informed of these changes by proactively informing them about the most important developments.
