Grodan once again awarded EU Ecolabel
The label requires that Grodan offers access to recycling solutions for 70% of the volume sold across EU member states. Furthermore, its products must contain at least 30% recycled content.
“The EU Ecolabel is the ultimate check on the way we work. It underlines our drive to continuously reduce our environmental footprint and acknowledges our contribution to the sustainable production of fresh produce. We are proud to say we produce the only Ecolabelled stone wool growing media available to professional horticultural growers”, says Hub Janssen, Managing Director Grodan.
Sustainable development is one of the fundamental objectives of the European Union in order to face the earth’s challenges today. Next to EU legislation, industries and individuals play a vital role in creating more value with fewer resources while minimising environmental impact. By Ecolabelling the EU empowers industry and citizens to make more informed choices, supports companies to market green products across the EU market and provides guidance to create a sustainable future. Ineke Vlot: “As leading company in the professional growers sector, Grodan’s effort to renew their EU Ecolabel certification is important to demonstrate how companies and their clients can contribute to sustainability and transparency. This example will inspire other businesses to apply for EU Ecolabel as well, not only in the horticulture sector”. The latest EU Ecolabel criteria have been developed and agreed upon by scientists, NGOs and stakeholders.
