" Limitation of drainpipe pee volume , maximum reduction of ballast and rest in plant food and antimicrobial and harvest protection agents , and a intervention arrangement tailored to our refinement : the sustainability of our water usance is an interplay of divers factors , " says the MicroFlor team .
Reusing pouring waterFor example , their water extraction consists entirely of rainwater , and they recover as much irrigation water as possible . " Because our greenhouses have all been fit with ErfGoedVloeren since 2018 , we limit our rainwater use of goods and services , " they further explicate . A significant profit . " Because we are so witting of how we use our rain , we are able to use it efficaciously , even in very wry summers . "
How exactly does such an ErfGoedVloer piece of work ? Because this culture trading floor is made up of several layer , the body of water drain evenly and slowly to the drainage pit . Then , disinfection takes position . Via UV luminance , fungi , bacteria , nematode , and viruses are rendered harmless . An additional disinfection with H hydrogen peroxide ( H202 ) follows during pouring . After this oxidation process , the water is sanctify and quick to be reused . " In this path , we make optimal use of our pouring piss . Another piddle - saving action ? We pour only when our plant require it . The exercising weight of our plants is constantly monitor and used as a basis for the lacrimation scheme . Because if we wait back at 2018 , we see a important decrease in urine utilisation , and that while we have increase in area . "
purify Walter Reed for sluiceway waterObviously , they can not reuse all water . " Our wastewater , whether from flushing filter or excess waste pipe piddle , also undergoes a thorough 100 % biological purgation via reed beds . In such a Walter Reed bed , reed interacts with other aquatic plant and microorganisms . A born water refining that relies on the ego - purifying operation of water , grease , and plants . And that without using an artificial provision of energy or other necessary kernel , " they point out .
The water thus meets all the environmental standards the grower aims for . " Even though those standards tighten up every year , with our reed bed , we are trusted to cover to meet them in the future . "
Growing MPS since 1997Which brings us to MPS ( Milieu Project Sierteelt ) . With this label , you prove that you make exertion to do business with respect for people and nature . Today , certification is the touchstone for competing on the marketplace . Microflor jumped on this bandwagon back in 1997 . At first , with the basis of MPS - VMS , it was affix in 2010 with the first MPS - GAP credential . A quality manual of arms with standards on traceability , environs , force , and recall procedures . " In 2017 , we raise the bar even higher with MPS - ProductProof . "
This recording label indicates how a producer score proportional to others in terms of fertilization , pesticides , Energy Department using up , and waste garbage disposal . In increase , the label prove that you do not utilise prohibited participating substances in refinement . Read all about it in the web log " Environmental care certification : this is how we guarantee you transparency and sustainability .
Green light for LEDIn addition to water , energy is also a challenge . " We are currently systematically replacing our classical Son - T lamp with energy - efficient LED lamps . An investment with which we want to reduce our energy use of goods and services . humble downside ? LED lamps , unlike the Son - T lamps , give off less high temperature , so we have to contribute some extra heating plant . We are presently doing that with our CHP . Behind the scenes , we are putting all our efforts into a sustainable alternative . In the first place , by using energy economically and research alternative . believe of energy screens and air dehumidification with heat retrieval . The ultimate goal is fossil - free finish . "
