A shared commitment to sustainability
Kebol, a leading Dutch exporter of flower bulbs and perennials, has built its reputation on quality, innovation, and reliability. With more than 35 years of experience and customers in over 40 countries, the company continues to evolve its operations to meet rising expectations for sustainability across the supply chain.
The challenge: reducing waste and inefficiencies
Previously relying on single-use wooden and plastic crates, Kebol faced high costs and inefficiencies in its export operations. To address these challenges, the company partnered with Tosca to implement a durable, reusable packaging solution that would support its environmental objectives while improving operational performance.
By integrating Tosca’s foldable reusable crates into its export process, Kebol has created a closed-loop system that keeps materials in circulation, minimises waste, and lowers overall packaging costs. The result is a more efficient and sustainable supply chain that aligns with the company’s long-term vision.
Delivering measurable impact
The new system has streamlined Kebol’s export operations, reduced packaging costs by 40%, and nearly eliminated waste. It’s a clear demonstration of how reuse delivers both environmental and economic value.
Sustainability is one of our core values, and Tosca’s reusable crates fit perfectly
with our vision to reduce waste
and create a circular, global
export system.Jos van der Drift, Managing Director, Kebol
