Leiepoort Deinze kiest voor duurzame non-woven draagtassen via Marisan

Leiepoort Deinze opts for sustainable non-woven carrier bags by Marisan

Scholengroep Leiepoort Deinze attaches great importance to sustainability, equality and small-scale teaching. Before the start of this school year, they were looking for a practical and environmentally friendly solution to distribute school books. The choice fell on non-woven carrier bags from Marisan; sturdy, reusable and printed with their own design. Pieter, responsible for central purchasing, explains how the collaboration came about and how the project went.

Leiepoort Deinze is a school group with three campuses: Sint-Hendrik, Sint-Theresia and Sint-Vincentius. These schools work closely together and offer a powerful learning environment in which every student can develop his or her talents to the fullest.

Leiepoort's core mission is learning to study and learning to appreciate: guiding young people in their growth into responsible, respectful and appreciative people. We offer a wide range of courses tailored to each student, with attention to equal opportunities and smooth transitions between study programmes.

The school group stands for small-scale, security and cooperation. We want to be a guide and compass for young people, so that they learn to get the best out of themselves and contribute together to a better world.”

“Via the clothing company Elanco, a long-standing partner of our fashion department, we received the tip to work with Marisan. Together they have extensive experience in the field of sustainable packaging material.”

“We deliberately chose non-woven carrier bags because they perfectly match the sustainable vision of our school group. They are reusable, sturdy and therefore an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable packaging; values that we as a school consider very important. Moreover, they offer an excellent price-quality ratio and allow us to present our school in a clear and professional way, thanks to the beautiful print.”
