Dear all,
in recent times I read that public procurers and the public in general is confused when it comes to bio-based products and their respective capabilities in terms of "What do the eco-labels mean" and the often used terminology (e.g. biodegradation, compostability, etc.).

Anew is another non-profit organization that I just heard about...

Onder de gewijzigde aanbestedingswet 2012 zou dat kunnen als quasi inbesteden volgens artikel 2.24b zoals Mat Jacobs al heeft gemeld. Onze GR voldoet niet aan die voorwaarden. Ook het voorbehouden aan SW bedrijven, i.h.a. komt dat neer op voorbehouden aan het eigen SW bedrijf, lijkt nu ook niet meer te kunnen volgens het nieuw...
