Sustainable production and environmental concerns

The aspect of environmental protection is an important part of Wilmar's sustainable development. We are committed to and care about appropriate and conscious management of resources and adaptation of production processes to the idea of respect for nature and its resources.

At a time of intense exploitation of our planet’s resources, it is extremely important to reduce waste and counteract potential environmental damage. Therefore, Wilmar, when pressing rapeseed oil, effectively uses the residues generated in the process. From the residues, we produce extruded rapeseed cake, which is free of chemical additives. We do not use hexane in any of our production processes. The extracted rapeseed cake we produce undergoes only physical processes: high pressure and temperature. This high-protein feed component has many advantages, including many environmental aspects. It reduces the cost of feeding animals, lowers methane emissions into the atmosphere, and increases productivity and efficiency of animal husbandry. We write more extensively about it here.

Optimization of the consumption of production materials, waste generation, energy efficiency and general respect for the environment, together with offering innovative products of the highest quality, are the key factors that determine the solutions we apply and set the direction of our research and development work.
