Sustainable Kerstpakketten (Christmas Boxes): Instock, RotterZwam & ZustainaBox
In the Netherlands, there is a specific tradition regarding Christmas gifts from employers to their employees. They traditionally give their employees what we call in Dutch a “kerstpakket” (which means “Christmas box”).
In this blog, we looked into some amazing alternative Christmas Boxes from sustainable companies in the Netherlands. They offer beautiful and unique gifts that can make your life a bit more eco-friendly, and support local and sustainable initatives at the same time. We are very excited to show you some of the options that are out there in our latest blog - which are not only suitable for Christmas gifts from employers, but also for your family and friends (or to treat yourself).
Unwrapped: Why are we still using plastic food packaging?
You’d think that plastic food packaging would be enough to solve Europe’s food waste problem. The reason why most of our food is packaged in a supermarket is because it keeps our produce ‘fresher’ right?
Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Both plastic pollution and food waste are at all time highs and there has never been a better moment to find solutions. Luckily, there are many innovative packaging ideas, which aim to reduce the source of both plastic pollution and food waste.
