" We want to go into the future tense sustainably , " say Peter van der Klift of Milestone Fresh . Big words for a freight forwarder ? " Not if we live up them . We are at the head of a new project in Guatemala in which the destination is to surrender 10 % more fair air than we currently emit thanks to bamboo culture . "
" At the moment we are busy calculate our step based on the CO2 emission . Once this has been calculated , we want to start a project in Guatemala with our partners to grow bamboo in rules of order to give clean zephyr to the world , " enjoin Peter . " We hope that more ship’s company will join this labor . "
" We come in into striking with the Bamboo Village Uganda society . Because of our natural action in Guatemala , where we have had an authority since 2017 , we have opted for a local initiative , whereby this organistion will begin up together with our Milestone Bamboo Village Guatemala , among other things , " tell Peter . " We are not going to rise ourselves , because that is not where our expertise lies , but we will join this farm and invest in the call for number of hectares on the base of the measured emanation . "
" We have been active in Central America for several year and there has been increase demand from Guatemala for the exaltation of vegetable , yield and flower plants over the last year . The main products we currently channel from Guatemala are sugar snaps , melon , blossom flora and cut greens . Our independency is therefore a top priority , which is why we do not have cultivation ambitions ourselves , " says Peter .
Milestone Fresh is bully to start the initiative as presently as potential . " The project has to come out this year . Our partner is already busy with the planting . It will really take a few years before the project yields return , but you have to jump somewhere . We desire to be at the forefront of sustainability in the market and feel we are creditworthy for what is happening in the world , and we trust in the motto " what go around fare around , " say the shipping agent .
" The cultivation of bamboo is very worthy for this project . It does not require too much maintenance and you also do not take too much soil for maximum yield . The lotion possibilities of bamboo are tremendous . Think , for model , of clothing and give - aways . The World Wildlife Fund is , among other things , a customer , " says Peter . " With the bamboo we hope to build houses for the poor local families . "
" Talking about sustainability is already happen far too much . With this concrete project , we need to demonstrably do our bit . Climate cocksure should not be an empty term and that is why we are really going to shew that we are achieving this and that we will also follow it nearly . Our mien in Guatemala means we are close to the project and may also be able to travel to the labor together with customers . "
