The winners of the Greenovation and the Glass Tulip Awards!

Published: November 5, 2024
On Tuesday evening, 5 November, the prestigious Greenovation Award was presented. This prize, awarded annually to the best new product in the floriculture sector, was won this year by Decowraps Europe BV with their innovative Silphie paper packaging!


Greenovation Award 2024

The judges praised the Silphie plant, also known as The Sun Crown, as a promising alternative crop for arable farming. ‘The Silphie plant has a very high added value in terms of soil improvement and biodiversity,’ the jury comments. Decowraps Europe's paper packaging is partly made from the fibres of this plant, which reduces the need for trees. This sustainable paper protects ornamental plants and contributes to biodiversity and soil quality. A great step towards a circular floriculture sector.
