Broekhof wins 2022 HortiContact Innovation Award
Supply chain collaboration the deciding factor for expert jury
GORINCHEM – Broekhof was awarded the 2022 HortiContact Innovation Award for its innovative Recy®100 film product on the first day of the HortiContact greenhouse horticulture fair in Evenementenhal Gorinchem. Exhibitors registered a total of 19 innovations with the organisation. Three innovations were recently nominated from these entries. In addition to Broekhof, it concerned innovations by Signify and PATS drones.
Broekhof's winning innovation was developed because plastic flower sleeves and shrink wrap still end up in the incinerator too often. Hiddink: “A travesty, because this material can be recycled endlessly. Recy 100 film is made of 100 percent recycled material derived from plastic waste from the horticulture sector.” The plastic waste is collected from flower processors across the whole of Europe and returned to KRAS Recycling via the Dutch auctions. Circulair Plastics then produces new film, from which Broekhof makes new flower sleeves. This supply chain collaboration was ultimately the deciding factor for the jury to award the 2022 HortiContact Innovation Award to Broekhof.
