Why Netherlands needs bleaching earth
The Netherlands is Europe's logistics gateway. Rotterdam is Europe's largest port, with refining, chemicals, oilseed crushing and distribution centres serving the whole EU.
Bleaching earth is consumed in every batch of refined edible oil, at roughly 0.5–2% of oil weight, so refineries order it on a fixed schedule.
