Dubbel Doel Flora
Dubbel Doel Flora extracts and processes plant-based raw materials from agricultural and horticultural residual streams—such as pruning wood, tomato plants, and spent rose bushes—to create new products for use within the sector. Its first product, Bloempapier, is a paper made with 20% plant material that would otherwise be composted, suitable for office use, printing, and florist wrapping. The company collaborates with growers, researchers, and supply chain partners to develop and scale these circular applications.

Problem
Large volumes of plant-based residual materials from agriculture and horticulture—such as pruning wood, tomato plants, spent rose bushes, and unsold crops—are currently destroyed or composted. This represents both material and capital destruction at a time when natural raw material availability is becoming increasingly scarce and supply lead times are lengthening.
Solution
Dubbel Doel Flora extracts and processes plant-based raw materials from agricultural and horticultural residual streams to develop products that can be used back within the sector. The company's first concrete result is Bloempapier, a paper product consisting of 20% plant material that would otherwise be composted, suitable for office use, printing, and florist wrapping. The company works with growers, researchers, and suppliers to move from idea to actual product, applying experience from one project to avoid pitfalls in the next. The approach is designed to generate returns both for the environment and society as well as in euros for producers and processors, ensuring long-term sustainability.
Target Audience
Primary customers are agricultural and horticultural producers with residual plant streams, along with office supply chains, printers, and florists seeking more sustainable paper products.
