Mathilde visited the Inex milk factory on Wednesday morning. The company has recently started producing bottles that consist of at least a quarter of recycled material and are also a lot lighter. The Queen was given an extensive tour of the factory and thus learned all about the new bottles. She took ample time to talk to some employees.
Inex boss Steven Dierickx was pleased with Mathilde’s interest. “She mainly asked a lot of questions about sustainability,” he told Het Laatste Nieuws afterwards.
Dierickx thought it was a shame that King Filip was not there. “But given the situation, I fully understand. I therefore think it is admirable that Queen Mathilde came alone.”
