Sustainable production
100% commitment to "Zero Waste & Zero Emissions"
No waste, noCO2 emissions- we have been working on this continuously for years. We rely on renewable energy generation, organic waste utilisation and smart water management throughout the entire production process.
Solar system
Away from fossil fuels - more renewable energy. With our photovoltaic system, we produce around a quarter of our total electricity requirements with the help of the African sun.
Biogas
We produce carbon-neutral electricity, while reducing the amount of waste from our factory and using the biogas as an electricity reserve for night-time operations. We use fruit waste from the factory, such as mango or pineapple peel, for our biogas plant. For more of our own renewable energy and less waste.
Heating stoves
The coconut shells and mango stones that cannot be used for biogas end up as fuel in our stoves. This enables us to further reduce the amount of waste we produce. The ovens generate all the heat energy in our dried fruit factories.
Here too: less waste, more sustainable energy.
Water treatment
The whole of West Africa is struggling with water shortages. That is why we invested in rainwater dams. The rainwater is collected in the dams and treated for use in the factory.
We take care of our soil and groundwater, which is why the water is purified and filtered in our wastewater treatment plant after use in the factory before it flows into the sewage system.
Composting plant
Any fruit waste that is not used for the biogas plant or the drying ovens ends up in our composting facilities. This gives us around four tonnes of organic fertiliser every day, which we can use on our fields as organic fertiliser. The fertiliser leads to an improvement in the soil structure and an even better quality of our fruit.
