For Dutch greenhouse company SV.CO, water is a critical resource and a central element of its sustainability approach. The company actively pursues smart, circular water use, with the aim of minimising waste and reducing environmental impact on a structural basis.

Within its cultivation processes, water is recirculated, purified, and reused on a daily basis. This significantly limits the consumption of fresh water while maintaining consistent water quality. Through this approach, SV.CO operates as part of a closed water system, in which emissions to the environment are kept to a minimum.
The company also employs innovative growing systems, including ebb-and-flow systems, in which water is applied via the substrate and excess water is captured and recirculated. Rainwater is collected in storage basins and used during drier periods. This not only improves overall water efficiency but also helps to reduce pressure on the regional water infrastructure.
At SV.CO, sustainable water use is not treated as a standalone topic, but as part of a broader vision of responsible business operations. Combined with measures such as peat-free cultivation, energy efficiency, and certification to international standards, the company works continuously to improve its environmental footprint.
