At the cheese factory
To make cheese, we use the latest and most economical equipment and are as efficient as possible with the use of heat, cold and water. Furthermore, numerous smart techniques have been applied with which we aim to save at least 2% energy and water annually. Thanks to all these large and small measures, the Climate Neutral Group has already awarded us the certificate for a climate neutral organization in 2020.
We are investigating how to get rid of gas and whether it is possible to connect to the current heat networks in our region for obtaining heat sustainably. We have also installed solar panels. And as soon as there is a proven innovation for our cheese factory that suits us, we will hook up.
