ABOUT FACHJAN & SUSTAINABILITY

Fachjan, 3 generations Three generations who are surrounded by top quality greenery every day, with passion. Together with a group of experts dedicated to their profession. That is Fachjan, with 57,000 m2 of greenhouses full of tropical and subtropical plants, flowering and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs from 10 cm to 14 metres tall.

We can always be found at suppliers’ nurseries all over the world, consulting with architects and landscapers, and at clients’ premises on virtually all continents.

Thanks to more than fifty years experience in the midst of the international greenery sector, we know exactly what we’re doing. We enjoy sharing that expertise. You’re welcome to join us in the Fachjan Sky box, at the top of our sixteen-metre high greenhouse.

Environment Fachjan grows his plants in an environmentally friendly way. This includes optimal use of fuel and fertilizers and an integrated use of crop protection agents.

All our environmentally friendly breeding activities are in accordance with Dutch environmental legislation.

After the construction of the new energyefficient greenhouse, Fachjan received the ‘Green label’ certificate for the environment.

Fachjan thinks about the environment and uses geothermal energy to heat the greenhouses Geothermal energy is energy that is extracted from the earth’s crust. The core of our earth is extremely hot (2,000 to 10,000 ˚C). This heat flows through conduction (convection) to the crust of the earth. This energy supply is virtually inexhaustible and therefore very sustainable and environmentally friendly. The heat of this water is utilized via heat exchangers to heat the greenhouses at Fachjan.

This project saves a lot of natural gas per year and reduces CO2 emissions. This means that the products are grown sustainably and it contributes strongly to a cleaner and healthier future.

Fachjan has already significantly reduced gas consumption in recent years. Fachjan expects to further reduce gas consumption by an additional 80% through Geothermal energy.

Fachjan and sustainability: Solar panels on the roof.

Fachjan is taking more and more steps to work climate-neutral. Solar panels have been placed on the roof of the warehouse and quarantine rooms for a next step in making the company more sustainable. In total, 270 solar panels have been installed. They will provide the largest part of the electricity supply.

Why do we love Sansevierias?

Sansevieria is known for the air purifying effect and is extremely popular because of its simple care and tight appearance.

It has the ability to produce oxygen and even has one of the highest success rates in converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.

They tolerate little light and are therefore very suitable for most homes, apartments and offices.
