Our milestones
On our farm, we not only produce the most delicious potato specialties of the best quality, but we also strive to become more sustainable as a company, including our products, step by step. Find out more about the sustainability milestones we have already achieved here.
2024
- The Pahmeyer brand's product packaging has beencompletely convertedto recyclable materials*. All components - from the plastic tray to the sealing film to the labels - are now made of mono-PP (polypropylene), a uniform plastic mono-material. This change offers a major advantage: whendisposed of in the yellow garbage can, the packaging can be separated by type and thus recycled much more easily. This saves valuable resources!
*Theoretical recyclability of 96% of plastic packaging under optimum sorting and recycling conditions, certified by cyclos-HTP.
2022
- Commissioning of a new 749kWp photovoltaic system installed on the potato hall roofs. A PV system produces emission-free electricity and thus makes a valuable contribution to environmental and climate protection
- Conversion of the freezer systems cooled with liquid nitrogen to electrically cooled systems powered by 100% green electricity
2021
- Packaging offensive from September: reduction in the weight of plastic trays used for products. This resulted in a saving of 15% of the plastic used per product - 16 tons of plastic were saved as a result
- Successfully completed test with 100% recyclable mono-PP packaging in the production process
- Doubling the area under flowering mixtures (compared to the previous year) to preserve biodiversity: a total of 150,000 square meters!
- Installation of UVC systems to reduce odors from production
2020

2019
- Inauguration of the new energy-efficient production hall and the new administration building (to KfW 55 standard), including climate-friendly electric CO2 cooling systems
2008
- Foundation of Kartoffelmanufaktur GmbH & Co KG: generation of new jobs in the region
- Commissioning of the first photovoltaic system on the farm
2002
- Sustainable energy generation: Commissioning of the farm's own biogas plant - we work with 100% green electricity
