Van Laethem is a herb and comestible blossom company in Belgium . Despite the preceding two difficult COVID-19 years , they are eager to expand . Like many business organisation , Van Laethem has had a challenging time lately . Partly due to the pandemic . But , also , because of the well - known eminent production toll . " Nonetheless , this phratry business live , unscathed , " says namesake John van Laethem .
" I ’m convinced that , thanks to our professionalism and specially courage , we ’ve come out stronger . I cogitate a company must defy to dare to invest in itself . Then it can move frontwards . If it ’s in trouble after two formidable eld , its foundation was already lack . "
This year , the business need to start out reaping the rewards . " We ’ve induct enormously , particularly in digitalisation , over the past two years . Our package now runs solely as a ended data centre of attention in the ' swarm ' . So , this yr , we ’re considering the company ’s next expansion step , " John tell . Most of the investments will be written off next year . So , it is now full steam ahead in the search for growing opportunities .
" I ’m not yet certain incisively where that will pass off . However , if you want to expand a stage business , you have to assure you ’re at the center of the action , " John bear on .
That is not forbid Van Laethem from looking to expand abroad . " We certainly do n’t need to limit ourselves to just Belgium . We reckon overseas growth a very likable alternative . "
As cite , the companionship narrow down in herb and edible flowers . It also does miniskirt - vegetables . It wants to key out itself primarily through tone and service manner of speaking .
" peculiarly in these time , we like providing respectable answer with our products . The March reddish blue is an lesson . This eatable flower is very beneficial for lung function . Our menage trade name Bell’aroma mean we can volunteer real flavor and quality , class - round , " suppose Van Laethem .
" Quality does , however , seem to do in secondly . That ’s thanks to the price warfare . But those companies that focus on quality and military service fare up trumps these days . As a solution , most are now trying to specialize . "
The dealer also mentions that people are eating smart and more healthily . " However , people have to relearn to live healthier . People used to designedly attempt to line up the really respectable timber products , " John says .
" But , thanks to richness and the comfort of modern life , many do n’t look to that anymore . We ’ve gradually drop off the art of healthy living . " He dare not speculate on whether the great unwashed can bring home the bacon in doing so again . " I hope so . "
Will the plastic prohibition in France eventually have issues ? " It is n’t bear upon us much , " John says . " I do n’t believe credit card is the problem either . We ca n’t keep cutting down Tree for composition board promotional material . Also , when composition board is recycled , it can contain printing ink and mineral oil residues , such as MOSH and MOAH . These contaminate food product . And , glassful recycling requires more vigour and is heavier to enrapture . That increases CO2 discharge . "
John refers to aTEDx Talkby Kim Ragaert in which she discusses this . Kim explain that the ' blind state of war ' against plastic packaging is unnecessary . Much more vim and materials are used for the alternatives ( glass , theme , and aluminum ) . And CO2 emissions are gamy . If plastics were to be entirely blackball , it would be far more detrimental to the environment as a whole . Plastic is not perfect . It plainly need responsibility from consumers , among others , she says . That is in purchasing and handling plastic packaging . " Just like anything else , it has to be care cleverly , " order Kim .
