Organic and sustainable pepper cultivation by SweetPoint

At SweetPoint we use a number of cutting edge techniques to ensure an organic way of pepper cultivation. We try to use as little energy and materials as possible in the cultivation of our peppers. We accomplish this by using the following techniques:

• We cultivate our peppers in green label greenhouses, these greenhouses have a special CHP installations which generate heat and co2 that is used by the pepper plants to grow. These installations also produce electricity which, if not used, is being send back into the power grid;
• We use geothermal energy for heating our greenhouses, ensures that we require less fossil fuel;
• We don’t throw anything away. Leftover water, fertilizer and other materials are re-used if not absorbed by the peppers and the peppers that don’t make the cut are being used in the preparation of other products such as pepper caviar.
