As a family business, we are aware that we are responsible for the generations that come after us. Naturally, we therefore look beyond this generation in terms of planning the future. Especially when it comes to sustainability. You can see this mentality in our ingredients, our used packaging materials and in our production processes.
Our goal is to use the least possible amount of E numbers and allergens in our recipes. On the other hand, we want to use as many natural ingredients as possible, such as pumpkin seeds, sesame seed, spelt, oats and barley. Is it possible to be our ingredients locally? In that case, we prefer to do so.
The last two years, we have achieved a 30% reduction on our use of plastics. We’ve achieved this by reducing the thickness of the films used in our packaging where possible. In the future, we’ll also employ the following two methods:
• The cellophane gift bags used for our products will be replaced with a resealable label.
• All our packaging will be changed to recyclable packaging.
We have reduced waste in our production by 2% as well.
How can we reduced the amount of energy we use and use it more efficiently? We’re working on that too. For example, all lighting we use is now LED lighting. Additionally, we’re looking into possibilities to use solar panels, so our production will consume less electricity. We are in the process of building a new property for storage. We are looking into installing solar panels there as well.
Sustainability is more to us than just taking care of the environment. We also take good care of our employees, so they will be with us for a long time. This means good working conditions, short communication lines and the freedom to contribute to ways to improve our product and processes.
