Active participation within Nevedi

For many years, De Heus has been an active member of the Dutch sector organisation for the animal feed industry, Nevedi.

Koudijs Uganda takes initiative to recycle single use plastics

Single use plastics form one of the largest environmental challenges in Uganda. Which is why Koudijs Uganda has set up a program aimed at the collection and reusage of single use feed bags.

Koudijs expects to recycle a significant amount of used polypropylene bags as a result of this new initiative.

Pioneering the use of residual flows in animal feed

As part of its sustainability strategy, De Heus aims to increase the use of residual flows, by-products and food waste. By taking the residual nutrients contained in by-products from human food production and incorporating them in our animal feed, we not only conserve scarce resources, we also stimulate circularity. While we use residual flows as ingredients in our compound feed, a significant number of farmers are using increasing volumes of residual flows in liquid feed. Ruud Bens, Product Manager Liquid Feed, tells us what progress De Heus has made in supporting farmers in the use of residual flows in liquid feed and the prospects for the future.
