Plastic has gotten a negative name in recent geezerhood . This is n’t necessary , however , as long as the chain is fold , says Lisa van Koningsveld with Modiform . " In terms of sustainability , you’re able to take steps as a company , but to really make a difference , collaboration is of the essence . " For this reason , they started the TrayC system at Landgard last year , where the goal is to keep transport trays within a orbitual organization . " It preclude downcycling , reduces the use of charge card , and also addresses the trouble with non - recycled transport tray . " The range has already expanded from 5 to 11 models in dissimilar size and the pastime from cultivator and retailers is increasing .
SustainabilityThere is an increasing focal point on sustainability , also in the horticultural sector and therefore also in the tray man . " 6 to 7 years ago you could see that a tray consist of 60 % recycled charge plate and 40 % ' virtuous ' plastic , whilst now would be 98 to 100 % reprocess plastic . In the whole chain , from agriculturist to consumer , you see more and more awareness . People want to become more sustainable and the transport tray also plays a role in this . "
Raw material shortageIn addition , peculiarly now , with the dearth of sensitive materials , it is indispensable that product are retrieve so that new single can be made from them . " It is of import that all of us , not just us , make the utmost effort in recycling the tray . "
CollaborationTo accomplish this , quislingism is key . Modiform has even formulated an ambition with Horizon2025 to act upon together with the entire chain to change the industry sustainably . " This is the only way we can really make a difference . " The collaboration between Modiform and Landgard is an important step toward Sir Ernst Boris Chain - wide collaboration . And Modiform conk out further than just elevate the benefit of the TrayC system or its own products . " Plastic has gotten a uncollectible repute recently , and so we need to make indisputable that there is more consciousness on recycling , not only of our trays , but of all tray . For model , it is very of import that retailers are put on notice not to give transport trays to consumers because they can not be recycled through consumer permissive waste . "
Cooperation is also important in the area of reducing the ecological footmark , Lisa stress . " now many companies want to make their step transparent , including us . However , it is important to roll in the hay what the total step is throughout the whole chain . That ’s why we want to share our footprint and be transparent about it as well . "
Sharing successSharing success is another form of collaboration , Lisa explains . " Last year we start the TrayC organisation with Landgard . First , we embark on with 1 German DIY store Sir Ernst Boris Chain and now we see demand come from multiple slant . " After this successful year , other manufacturers may / can also produce the trays . " Again , only together can we make a difference . "
TrayC , how does it really work?But how exactly does the TrayC study ? Lisa : " The unattackable welfare this system of rules displays , is its normalization , each tray is made of 100 % reprocess polystyrene ( PS ) . So no new credit card is used . In addition , the recycling percentage is increased because only one type of stuff is used , namely PS . The grower buys the tray , and via Landgard and the retailer , it will return to a key distributor point at Landgard where the useable tray are used again . The non - useable tray are recycled by Modiform to create new trays . Because the trays are uniform and very stackable , the collection and categorisation is very low - doorway . "
