Approval of low reusable support shelving Fc595 for all product groups

Last summer, we successfully introduced the reusable support shelving Fc595. Following its phased implementation, this support shelving will be available for all product groups from Monday 30 June 2025. Fc595 is an alternative to low single-use cardboard collars and saves approximately 100,000 kilograms of cardboard per year. With this move, Royal FloraHolland is responding to its ambition to use packaging materials more efficiently and contribute to reducing waste.

Jan van Wijk (Kwekerij Waalzicht) appreciates the fact that Lisianthus was able to start using this new low extension frame quickly, because Fc595 causes less damage to Lisianthus.

Features of Fc595
Reusable support shelving Fc595 has been developed for the reusable flower bucket Fc588. This is a conscious choice, as we have seen that this is now the most widely used product and is also experiencing the strongest growth. For the majority of the market, the Fc595 is a very suitable alternative to the single-use cardboard collar. An additional application is that the existing Fc598 support shelving can be placed on the Fc595, which offers a solution for flowers of 70 cm and longer. In terms of material, colour and design, the support shelving is in line with the existing packaging. The deposit and rental rate are the same as for the existing Fc598 support shelving for the Fc588.

Distribution
The Fc595 support shelving will be available to all growers from Monday 30 June 2025 at our packaging depots in Aalsmeer, Naaldwijk, Rijnsburg and Eelde, as well as at Veiling Rhein-Maas and Plantion.
