DUYNIE INGREDIENTS B.V

With a clear vision of how to conduct sustainable business, Duynie Ingredients places itself at the forefront of innovative and efficient pet food ingredient suppliers. Their approach involves a keen eye on the value of resources as part of a circular supply chain. This unique position allows the company to work with atransparent supply chain but at the same time, creates the opportunity to closely monitor quality control. The company’s vision for the future is crystal clear: “We must try to achieve the maximum value out of raw materials as resources become scarcer. ” The materials to be reprocessed are co-products originating from within the cooperation’s product chain itself, as well as raw materials from carefully selected suppliers. “What we do is help food producers who despatch any leftover materials after having completed their own production process. “In this way, we reintroduce it as an important sustainable source for pet food. ” The circular approach is not limited to reusing edible material. For instance, one of the drying locations is not based on natural gas but on waste heat from a fermentation process. This particular process generates a lot of heat. This heat can be used to dry co-products in a very sustainable way. However, it goes hand in hand with investing in partnerships. “If, for whatever reason, we cannot meet the demands of a potential customer, we are motivated to see how a possible partnership can in fact be established. “We see a sharp rise in healthy ingredients for pets – inulin, chicory products and beet pulp, for instance. But another trend is the recognisability of specific ingredients. People want to see what is in their food and their pets’ food. We look forward to researching how we can integrate these trends into our products and services. ”
