In de categorie Beste Marktinnovatie was de Green Retail Award voor Naturosa® van Meer Plant BV uit Meer (België). De jury was zeer te spreken over alle inzendingen en unaniem over Naturosa®. “Dit concept heeft een goed verhaal dat scoort op vele domeinen: biodiversiteit, gebruiksgemak, veenarm en ziekteresistentie. Binnen het concept zijn meerdere sterke soorten beschikbaar en dit breidt zich nog uit. Een sterk punt is dat het POS materiaal in samenspraak kan worden ontwikkeld”, aldus de jury.

A total of 14 entries were judged. Second place was for CO2-Tree by Van Oploo Tuinplanten from Bavel. On this, the jury said, ‘Although the Paulownia is not a new product, the CO2 theme gives it another relevant message. The theme is topical, but the market for this niche product is limited.’ Third place was for Fargesia One Boo from Plant Select NV of Rijckevorsel (Belgium). ‘The One Boo concept highlights the different colour variations in the bamboo range. The POS material developed is clear and transparent and makes it clear to consumers for which application the product is suitable,’ the jury said.

The jury for Best Market Innovation consists of representatives of international retailers from Scandinavia, Austria, Germany, England, France and the Netherlands. The jury members are all responsible for purchasing outdoor greenery. The winning concept will be included in the assortment of Scandinavian retail organisation Plantagen in 2025.
