duurzamere

Duurzamere is a Dutch comparative form used to describe something that is more sustainable than another. It derives from duurzaam, meaning sustainable or environmentally responsible, and is used to compare practices, products, policies, or outcomes in terms of sustainability.

Grammatically, duurzamer is the basic comparative form; duurzamere is the attributive form that appears before plural nouns, or in some constructions before nouns where an -e ending is required. For example: duurzamere oplossingen (more sustainable solutions), duurzamere productiesystemen (more sustainable production systems).

In usage, duurzamere is common in policy discussions, corporate sustainability reporting, journalism, and consumer guidance that labels alternatives as more sustainable than others. It is not a brand, organization, or formal standard, but a linguistic descriptor used to express relative sustainability.

Related terms include duurzaamheid (sustainability), duurzamere ontwikkeling (more sustainable development), and expressions describing the broader shift toward more sustainable practices.
