1. Who are we?<br />
1.9 Circular Biobased Economy<br />
The soil is deteriorating and fossil fuels<br />
and energy sources will be exhausted in<br />
the short term. We are all responsible for<br />
this happening, but together, we can also<br />
achieve the turnaround. A new approach<br />
is necessary, because we have the<br />
responsibility to leave the next generation<br />
with a vibrant planet. In order to increase<br />
our value in this effort, we will invest<br />
heavily in the production and delivery of<br />
Biobased products in the coming years.<br />
These BioBased products come from and<br />
return to Mother Earth and fit the image of<br />
the circular economy perfectly.<br />
We develop and introduce Biobased<br />
products to realise a more sustainable<br />
society. For instance, the residual flows<br />
come from the region and the production<br />
takes place within the region as much as<br />
possible.<br />
For more information about our BioBased<br />
products, see the Bio(Based) raw materials<br />
chapter.<br />

locations, there is free taxus collection for<br />
cancer control.<br />
