Transition to a circular economy for plastics
Water is a crucial requirement when transporting flowers and plants, and yet water forms a challenge for packaging. Our plastic packaging solutions are designed to achieve the highest functionality while promoting reuse and recycling as their end-of-life treatment. By keeping plastic in the loop, the mono material plastics we have selected can be easily and widely recycled after time.

Recy® Kraft Look sleeve
Broekhof has launched the Recy® Kraft Look sleeve, a sleeve made from plastic waste. With this innovation Broekhof is moving forward to becoming a leading sustainable packaging supplier.
The Recy Kraft Look flower sleeve is Broekhof’s newest development in the field of sustainable flower sleeves. The back cover is made of 100% recycled plastic which is collected at and via the Dutch flower auctions. The front cover remains transparent to preserve the aesthetic value of the flowers. The Recy Kraft Look is an excellent result of a closed material solution, as plastic waste is used to make these unique sleeves. The flower sleeve consists of mono-material and is widely recyclable after use.
