New environment-friendly packaging material

maandag 19 december 2011

Recently, we have taken in use a new, environment-friendly packaging material. For the packaging of many

products, so-called chips are used. The new chips are made from potato starch and completely biodegradable. In addition, the new chips have a very high absorption capacity and they are completely fat-free. The also used dye is a natural product and thus degradable. In the next editions of Lankhorst Euronete News we will keep you informed of our further initiatives in the area of environment-friendly entrepreneurship.
