Every day, Royal FloraHolland works with growers and buyers to develop new standardised sustainable packaging. As a result of this collaboration, they will soon be adding a new reusable bucket to our range: the Fc555. Visit the Royal FloraHolland stand at the Trade Fair Aalsmeer (stand 11.16) and discover this innovation.
With the introduction of the reusable Fc555 flower bucket, the auction is responding to the growing need for sustainability in floriculture and reducing chain costs. With the base size of the small Fc566 bucket and the height of the large Fc577/Fc588 buckets, the new Fc555 flower bucket is a valuable addition to the range. The Fc555 is particularly suitable as an alternative for cut flowers with a length of 50 to 65 cm, which growers currently supply in Fc566 with support shelving (Fc596) or collar. The Fc555 is designed to fit the existing Fc596 support shelving. This creates an additional packaging combination, particularly suitable for flowers measuring 70 cm and longer.

Ed van Holstein (Holstein Flowers) welcomes the arrival of the Fc555: 'This bucket provides the basis for further sustainability and optimisation of automation. We can't wait to start using the Fc555 next spring.'
Visit the stand and watch the video in which Ed explains how the idea for the new reusable bucket was born and how it was ultimately realised in collaboration with Royal FloraHolland. He also emphasises the importance of sustainability for the future, especially with the European PPWR legislation in mind.
