Zero-compromise sustainability
John van der Maarel (Sales Director at Modiform) says, 'Sustainability is at the core of every decision we make and every product we design and manufacture. We do not compromise on quality, ease of use, and providing added value for our customers. Our catalogue presents a large selection from our product range and the products that contribute to our Horizon2025 ambition. See www.modiform.com for the digital, clickable catalogue and use the QR codes to visualise some of the products in 3D as well as AR. This technology shows a rotating display of a product in a space of your choice, such as on your garden bed table. Looking forward to a successful season!'
New shipping solutions for online channel
One of the products that can be viewed in 3D is the clampack, a new product that responds to the ever-growing demand from consumers to order plants online. With the clampack and in-box trays, Modiform has developed a 100% recyclable and plastic-free shipping solution that perfectly matches this consumer demand. Potted plants can now be shipped sustainably and efficiently!
Trays: sustainable and efficient
Efficiency in horticulture is closely linked to standardisation. Thanks to the sustainably produced transport trays that are suitable for processing in an automated environment, we are automatically contributing to a better world. Modiform is also closing the material loop in other ways: it has set up a returns system whereby growers return their PS trays, receive a competitive payment for doing so, and Modiform recycles the returned trays in-house. The propagation trays such as the tree trays, multitrays, and paper plug trays are designed to be suitable for automated processing while enabling maximum loading. In addition, propagation is optimised by good drainage, good aeration, and minimised root sticking. The new ecoExpert pots are also suitable for automated processing. This product line is made from 100% recycled FSC cardboard and is 100% naturally biodegradable after use. Many of the ecoExpert transport trays have been granted an exemption for use at plant auctions. Ideal if you trade plants at auction!
Only recyclable pots and packs
Our catalogue now only features sustainable pots, which is why our R&R pots are made of 100% recycled PP material. Following on from last year, this year's style trends have been translated into new trending colours for the Thomsen injection moulding pots. You can view them on page 40. In addition, Modiform now offers exclusively recyclable packs made from the base material PET transparent green or PS cool grey. These plastics come from discarded green PET bottles and fridges respectively. This means customers automatically make a sustainable choice and Modiform automatically closes the material loop - together with its customers!

About Modiform
Modiform's focal points for sustainability come together in its Closed Loop Commitment. The material loop can and must be closed. Using the right materials and production techniques reduces products' environmental impact. The Closed Loop Commitment consists of many building blocks: from sharing knowledge to producing recyclable products made from recyclable materials (like plastic or alternatives like cardboard) for the ecoExpert range. To this end, Modiform focuses on cooperation with a number of chain parties. From breeder and grower, to trade and retail. Modiform supports, facilitates, and develops simple and complex solutions for packaging needs and consequently adds value to the supply chain. Thinking and acting sustainably is in the genes of this family company. Modiform collects materials from wider society and upcycles these into high-quality and unique products as well as innovative concepts.
