" Bunnik Plants is a truly unparalleled company , progressive and taking care of its employees . Everyone here matter and is give a lot of responsibility , " pronounce head of polish Nick van den Berg . " Every employee have sex on the dot what they have to do , but they largely determine how and when . There is also a lot of room for personal and professional development . That make a lot of challenge , a in high spirits level of liaison , and a pleasant working atmosphere . "
The company has twelve cultivation specialists , who Nick wangle . " We grow glasshouse plant on more than 26 hectares , spread over seven locations . A million new plants are delivered every workweek . Every plant that leaves our greenhouse is quick for the windowsill . This is how we relieve our customer . For that sum up note value , we are always wait for the latest course , and we are often a trendsetter . "
Sustainable in practiceThe troupe attach great importance to sustainability . Nick van den Berg sound out that , in 2015 , the company was the first glasshouse horticultural company with 1.7 hectares of greenhouses on which 5,500 solar dialog box have been installed , good for more than 1.4 MW . The caller hardly uses gas , but the heat from the RoCa connection partly consists of heat energy from the AVR waste incinerator . The CO2 postulate comes from the refineries on the Maasvlakte . harvest trade protection is mainly organic . Everything is aim at grow plants as sustainably as potential . " We conceive it is important that our party contributes in every manner to a better humanity . And that mass are happy with our products . "
Working with GreenSwitch OriginalIt is not surprising that the thought of GreenSwitch was received enthusiastically at Bunnik Plants . According to Nick , the usage of this fertiliser is an significant mystifier piece in the overall picture of sustainable cultivation of greenhouse plant . " There is not yet a bad demand in the Netherland for sustainably produced fertiliser , but at Van Iperen , we are convinced that will materialise soon , and we are now forrader of it – thanks to this raw product method from Pure Green Agriculture , " state Dick Breugem from Van Iperen . We have already presented it to a number of client . " Besides Hoogeveen Plants , Bunnik is the first society to do business sector with GreenSwitch .
Nick van den Berg : “ Henk van der Meer , Erik Noordam and Dick Breugem from Van Iperen infix it here . It was new to us . We had n’t conceive of this before . We have now been working with GreenSwitch Original for five months , for now , only at one of our seven location . This is about 10 % of the total production . Although we are still in the experimental phase , we can reason that the quality is good . It does what it ’s presuppose to do . We see no deviation with the traditionally develop potassium nitrate . "
Nick van hideout Berg : " We are glad that Van Iperen amount to us with this . This is indeed in line with our visual sense . We have been a customer of theirs for a long time because they make an important contribution to innovation and sustainability within our company . " Erik Noordam : " The concentration of GreenSwitch Original is lower than common K nitrate , so you need more litre for the same amount of plant food . And that stops a number of growers . Most mean it ’s a great idea , but the price keeps them from using it themselves . Sustainable culture is a choice that you have to make out of condemnation . That is really the case at Bunnik . "
A genuine solution"Raw material are , of course , becoming increasingly scarce , and the ( energy ) be to produce plant food are increasing . Therefore , we expect that in the future tense , GreenSwitch Orignal will become an significant solution in the need for liquid fertilizer , all the more because it is produced CO2 neutrally . With this conception , we can tender a significant solvent for the manure surplus in cows farm " , said Henk van der Meer . Nick van den Berg : " It is important that we also get this story to the consumer . masses are really willing to give more if they know that a works has been produced sustainably . But you have to tell that tarradiddle . With many of our plant , you will find some residuary cloth from biologic control on the leaves . That looks a little less nice , but you’re able to just blow it off . If you tell the underlie report , nobody will give you a hard time about it " .
