On our way to
100% sustainability
Wiskerke Onions will achieve complete corporate sustainability by 2023. The combination of exchanging residual heat, creating a solar park, solar panels on business buildings and trucks result in a negative CO2 footprint.

875 tonnes
of annual saving of CO2 thanks to use of residual heat
We are able to dry our onions and heat our offices by using the residual heat from our neighbours Lamb-Weston. This results in savings of 500,000 m3 of natural gas and reduces the CO2 emissions by 875 tonnes annually.

Our trucks also carry solar panels to make our transport process as sustainable as possible.
