Abbink chooses for CO2-neutral transportAbbink Aardappelen b.v. from Vriezenveen (NL) is the first customer of Butter Group, who chooses to transport its bulk potatoes 100% CO2-neutral.
Butter Group has been making efforts to reduce the fuelconsumption and thus the CO2-emissions for years already. Measures taken are amongst other things building own lightweight trailers (1500kg more load per ride, thus less fuelconsumption per transported kilogramme), use of spoilers, tires filled with nitrogen (less pressureloss, thus less rolling resistance), use of LPG-installations for a better combustion of the diesel.
These measures limit admittedly the CO2-emission, but don’t make the transport CO2-neutral. By investing in CO2-compensating projects, such as building wind farms, hydroelectric, solarpanels and investments in durable forrestprojects the CO2-emission will be compensated.
Butter offers its customers the possibility to participate in this compensation, which will be invested one on one in CO2-compensating projects, thus making the transport for these customers entirely CO2-neutral.
These investments will be made in cooperation with the “Climate Neutal Group”, which has amongst others customers like Canon Europe, ING Group, UNICEF. More information can be found on www.climateneutralgroup.com.
