Van der Plas, part of the Floral Trade Group, and rose nursery Porta Nova expressed their intention to switch to the Red Naomi Futura roses. From now on, some of the roses will be purchased as Futura. For Van der Plas customers, this Red Naomi with the ultra-low carbon footprint of 56 grams of CO2 per stem is immediately available, states the Van der Plas team.
"Van der Plas attaches great importance to sustainability," says managing director Hans van der Plas, "it is embedded in our DNA. But at the same time, we believe that as an industry we need to do even more to reduce our impact on the environment."
" This is Porta Nova's greenest scenario, based on 2023 measurements and assuming 100% wind energy. The footprint of 56 grams of CO2 per stem was measured by Greenhouse Sustainability and was shared with the industry for the first time at the last Trade Fair Aalsmeer."
