If you

means is explained below:
Sustainability label “Circulair” (Circular)

rented, repaired, leased, reused and recycled for as long as possible so that
the value is retained for as long as possible.

made by people with a (greater) disadvantage to the labor market.

we mean trade with producers in developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin
America under fair trade conditions. The aim is for farmers and other suppliers
in these countries to receive a fair reward for their product.
Sustainability label “Biologisch”(Organic)

to let nature do its work as much as possible, intervening as little as
possible.
