Social Enterprise Binthout saves Dutch trees from the shredder and makes beautiful design products from the wood. Handmade and produced in the Netherlands, because everyone deserves a chance on the labor market.
Social entrepreneurs Karst Klein and Cor Wobma started Binthout in 2013 from a heart for wood and people.
From tree to end product, they create various activities that suit the wishes and needs of people with a certain distance from the regular labor market. In this they work together with various foundations.
"We believe that Dutch wood has the potential to serve as a raw material for our products. By using the wood in products, we not only store co2, but we also save the wood from the chipper."
In collaboration with various municipalities, we can save Stadshout from the shredder and process it into products that return to the nearby area! The Social Return On Investment (SROI) is measurable in hours and storage of co2
In collaboration with Staatsbosbeheer, we are in a continuous search to make our Hollands Hout come back in new applications. Good design comes first!
