Although glasshouses were once up to ten times more expensive than plastic alternatives, we saw their long-term value in durability, efficiency, and environmental impact -and chose to invest.

Nearly 30 years on, our glasshouses remain strong, while plastic structures would likely have required replacement up to ten times in that same period.

Beyond durability, glass offers a major technological advantage: superior light transmission. With a transmission rate of approximately 88-94%, glass allows for greater natural light, reducing the need for additional heating and energy inputs -unlike plastic, which provides significantly lower light transmission levels.

Since 1996, we have implemented a water and fertiliser recycling system that remains in use today.

After our plants absorb the necessary water, we collect the remaining runoff, which is then filtered, treated, and reused. This process allows us to significantly reduce water usage while also preserving valuable nutrients.

By recycling the water, we’ve cut our fertiliser use by 50% compared to the levels used in the early 90s.
