The circular economy in sugar production

Green economy?
It’s how we roll!

Sustainability Climate and the environment Circular economy

We make sugar beets disappear completely. And from them we conjure not only sugar, but also stockfeed, bioenergy, and fertiliser for new beets. Magic? We call it an efficient circular economy.

Everything revolves around sustainability

We’re going around in circles. And that’s good! With our sustainable circular economy, we are able to use 100 percent of the sugar beet. Less waste, lower CO₂ emissions – more efficiency.
