Circular Economy in Brabant
The government in The Netherlands has set a goal: by 2050 the circular economy must be a reality. An ambitious plan, as currently, we still use our raw materials and fossil fuels too often as if they are inexhaustible. Rodenburg Biopolymers is contributing also on a local and regional level.

Biodegradable flower pots
These biodegradable flower pots have been designed on added value in stead of on drop-ins, in the supply chain of the BBCT-consortium. This 100% bio-based flower pot is made by injection moulding and has great benefits: better plant growth, needs significantly less fertilizer and soil improver as the pot acts as one and it has no plastic waste. On top of that, less manpower and handling costs are needed during the planting process.
