Kohberg and the environment

Our concern for the environment

We work to minimize waste and integrate energy- and resource-efficient solutions throughout our entire value chain - from the cultivation of raw materials in the fields to the moment our finished bread products are purchased by customers.

At Kohberg, we bake in large ovens and for many hours at a time. Therefore, it is crucial that we utilise the energy most efficiently for the sake of the environment. When we at Kohberg bake a lot of bread and pastries every day, we cannot avoid consuming lots of energy in the form of electricity, water and heat. We are aware of this, which is why we are continuously working on reducing our consumption. Our large-scale production does, however, also have some advantages for the energy consumption and thus the environment - especially if you compare it to the fact that the same amount of bread had to be baked one by one at home in kitchens.

Packaging material

Recyclable plastic

As a food company, we consider factors such as food safety, food waste and storage when choosing packaging. And even though it is a vilified material, plastic packaging is still the best solution to avoid food waste for our customers and consumers. The plastic packaging keeps bread fresh for a long time, and at the same time, the plastic packaging weighs very little, reducing the environmental impact of transport. 

Most of our plastic packaging is made from recyclable plastics and we are working hard to get recyclable packaging for all our products.

89 % of the plastic used in our packaging is recyclable. Our objective is that, at least 95 % of our packaging will consist of recyclable plastic.
Climate

Reduced Energy Consumption

In 2025, we purchased guarantees of origin from Danish wind turbines and solar panels to cover 100% of our electricity consumption. We aim to contribute to the generation of renewable energy equivalent to the amount of electricity consumed by Kohberg.


Sustainability is an integrated part of our business, and we continuously work to identify and implement more sustainable solutions. Our ambition is to make responsible choices that both support the green transition and meet the increasing expectations of our customers, consumers, and business partners. We closely monitor developments within sustainability and continuously adapt our efforts in line with new legislation, market expectations, and technological opportunities.
