Reuse of materials, waste and residuals
At the brewery, we actively separate various waste streams, such as foil, metal, glass and cardboard. All cans, bottles and casks that are returned to us are also recycled. When they return to the brewery, all labels are removed from the bottles when they are washed. The remaining paper pulp is reused in paper packaging for frozen products and in the brick industry. Our yeast and malt dust are reused as animal feed, and the kieselguhr we use as a filter to make sure that our beer is clear is either reused by farmers or is sent to a digester. Together with our suppliers, we look at ways to make more improvements, to make our packaging even more efficient and to reduce the amount of waste we produce.
