Zero landfill at Duvel in Puurs
At the brewery in Puurs-Sint-Amands, our primary packaging materials are 100% recyclable, as is our secondary packaging, which consists mainly of cardboard boxes and plastic crates. Most of the brewery waste consists of organic by-products such as excess yeast from our fermentation process and spent grain from our filtration process. Both are highly nutritious materials to which we give a second life as animal feed. Besides organic by-products, we also generate other waste streams in our Duvel Moortgat brewery.
The waste collection processes at the plant allow for perfect triage of every waste flow, which means that all organic and anorganic products leaving our site are being revalorized, either in animal feed, biofuel, fertilizer and/or recycling, making us a zero landfill plant.
