During our participation in VOKA's Sustainable Enterprise Charter, we also launched an action within our waste management.
One of the aims of this action was to examine our current waste flows and determine whether they could be further broken down. The focus here was on our residual waste stream.
By taking a particular stream out of our residual waste, we ensure that our amount of residual waste decreases. Also, this pure newly collected waste stream can be used for other purposes, such as recycling.
Forging lasting collaborations with our partners: that is one of the driving forces within Tensio. A great example of this is the long-standing collaboration that exists between Tensio and Brewery Martens.
At the start-up of the site in Kaulille, Tensio was involved in developing the chemicals room. Now, 15 years later, the renovation of this room needed to be addressed.
This was prompted by the drive for optimisation and continuous progress at both Brouwerij Martens and Tensio.Because of the many years of collaboration and trust, Tensio was once again the ideal partner for this challenge.
In 2023, Tensio decided to participate for the first time in VOKA’s Charter Sustainable Entrepreneurship.
Over a one-year period, we were encouraged to develop an action plan covering the different pillars of sustainable business. Actions related to limiting our water consumption, our waste production, creating a better group feeling across the various departments...
Step by step we aimed to achieve the set objectives. This also applied to sustainable energy.
It all starts with a fresh potato, they say at Frespo. The success and volume of fresh quality potato products is growing steadily and so is the demand for more time for production.
Within the continuous improvement collaboration with Frespo, Tensio came up with an approach to realize this challenging demand for more production time. Tensio’s Technical Services experts were also involved. Together with Frespo the new solution was analyzed, tested, fine-tuned and secured.
Together, we saved over a week’s production time per year. This saves more than €30,000.
A nice bonus is that the quality indicators have also improved.
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.
Sharing the unique flavour of one of the oldest beers in the world with as many people as possible: that is Lindemans Brewery’s mission. They do this by brewing with passion and always being creative and innovative. In terms of cleaning, Tensio likes to contribute to this story. Both in support and optimisation of the current cleaning processes and in the development of a completely new chemicals room at the new site in Ruisbroek. By cooperating with Tensio for the design and layout of its chemicals room, Lindemans Brewery opts for a total package of knowledge, advice and care.
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!
Do you know that today is Beer Lover's Day? Every 7th of September is dedicated to the different types of beer and the beer lovers. Before the beer comes to the table, the bottle literally travels a long way, and then we mean the large conveyor belts of the bottling line. To make your production lubricated, Tensio introduced the TENSAGLIDE DRY.
In our previous blog posts we talked about how providing information and protection can contribute to your safety. But what if it’s already too late? What if an incident with chemical products has occurred? We’ll take a brief look at that.
