Fish in a sustainable jacket

Sustainability is a key priority at Adri & Zoon. For example, we consult with the Good Fish Foundation if we have any concerns about our fish supply. Our new building is constructed according to BREEAM criteria, and we aim to replace our Styrofoam fish crates with recyclable monoplastic.

New packaging.
Eco-friendly packaging is a hot topic. We'll soon be introducing our new cardboard mussel packaging. This new packaging reduces plastic use by a whopping 85%. A large portion has been replaced by cardboard, which is easily separated from a thin layer of film. Both materials are easy to separate and recycle.

What is MAP packaging?
MAP packaging is an environmentally conscious concept. We package the fish in a protective atmosphere. With MAP packaging, we naturally ensure a long shelf life. It's a great replacement for the Styrofoam packaging we used to have, as the new packaging takes up much less space, significantly reduces the use of Styrofoam, is recyclable, and uses less energy. Furthermore, the ice cream machine uses drinking water to cover the fish in the Styrofoam boxes. In short: MAP packaging is a product Adri & Zoon is happy to continue using.

Packaging in a sustainable building.
Our warehouse is where it all begins and where the fish is packaged. The new facility was built according to BREEAM criteria. This means we demonstrably meet requirements for health, welfare, pollution, and materials used, among other things. We are already using MAP packaging in the new production facility. We package a significant portion of our salmon fillets in MAP crates.

This is how we work step by step towards a responsible, environmentally conscious and sustainable working method!
