VanDerEng at IFFA 2025: successful introduction of food-safe and sustainable food labels for the meat and food industry. Much interest in customization, HDPE solutions and self-adhesive food labels.

PVC labels are harmful to the environment, difficult to recycle and are increasingly regulated by the EU. HDPE is a sustainable alternative: 100% recyclable, stronger and more resistant to UV radiation and moisture. This prevents breakage and reduces plastic waste in nature. In addition, HDPE labels retain their color and readability for longer. VanDerEng is happy to help you switch to this environmentally friendly solution!

For 130 years, VanDerEng has been supplying sustainable, food-safe labels for the fishing industry. Our Duraflex labels guarantee traceability and quality, such as Skrei, an exclusive cod species with the MSC quality mark. Innovation and reliability are central to our products.

With the Send Them Back initiative, you can make your event more sustainable by returning used festival tokens for reuse. This way, you reduce waste, contribute to a circular economy and meet stricter sustainability guidelines. Participation is free and rewarded!
