Together for a Sustainable Future
Van der Valk Hotel Groningen-Hoogkerk has positioned itself as a hotel committed to sustainability and the environment. We take several measures to minimise our impact on the environment and ensure a more sustainable future. Of course, Van der Valk is pre-eminently a family business and believe it is important that we leave our planet well behind for future generations.
Orbisk & Swill
Waste separation & recycling
At Van der Valk Groningen-Hoogkerk, we use the Orbisk, a device that uses image recognition technology to map food waste, which helps to reduce waste and optimise the quality of dishes. We also strive to reduce the amount of swill - kitchen waste and food scraps - as much as possible.
Sustainable on the road!
