Cleaning with less phosphorus, fostering nature

Placed at 16-04-2024

Making lives healthier by helping people enjoy fruit and vegetables at any moment, easily, quickly and pleasurably, whilst fostering nature. With this vision, Greenyard is happy to commit to initiatives that ensure less environmental impact. As an expert in cleaning and disinfection, Tensio as a partner also likes to contribute.
Sustainability is an increasingly important topic for many companies. Greenyard is also proactively working on this theme. Specifically, Greenyard wanted to reduce the phosphorous content of its waste water. Besides having a positive effect on the environment, it was also an opportunity to look at how to clean more safely.
Together with Greenyard analysis were conducted, tests performed and ensured that the new cleaning procedures were also secured within daily operations. The result: 638kg less phosphorus in wastewater per year.

Full craftsmanship, that’s what they continuously focus on at Van Lieshout Snacks. This focus on quality does not stop at production. High quality standards continue throughout all their activities. And that is also the case regarding their cleaning process. Specifically, they worked with Tensio to raise the procedure for cleaning the ovens to a ‘best practice’ level. Tensio’s approach of continuous improvement results in a benefit of 15,000 euros a year for Van Lieshout Snacks.

High production quality and safety come always first at food company OVI. But the ambitious Kempenaars are just as much as committed to achieve healthy sustainable growth with innovative products and processes.
Tensio served OVI a custom-made PDCA method that shortened the baking oven cleaning by 4 hours. This brings a 4-hour advantage of extra production time! Moreover, this approach reduces the consumption of hot water and energy, as well as chemicals.
Pure efficiency and 20% gain on the annual cleaning budget, without any loss in quality. A tried and tested OVI recipe!

Sustainable production and business is one of Beltaste’s main objectives in the coming years. That is why the snack producer and Tensio joined forces to reduce the usage of cleaning water to less than 3.5 litres per kilogram of finished product. Good for around 10% reduction in water consumption.
As a result of targeted PDCA work, Tensio developed an approach whereby, through joint actions with Beltaste, cleaning and disinfection processes were step by step improved and less water is needed. This without cutting back on quality. And that was greatly appreciated by Beltaste.

The fact that protection is important to safety doesn’t require a great deal of explaining. Or does it? After all, there are various different types of protection. As we regularly have to deal with personal protective equipment, we’ll now abbreviate this to PPE.

Our approach plan consists of four steps: plan, do, check and act. We would like to use this post to provide a little more detailed information regarding the third step.
