Zero Waste Project
Our goal: fruit free of chemical residues
As an R&D initiative, at FRUIJET SL we are developing the “0% Residue” project, with the goal of offering the customer a range of Apples without pesticide residues, at levels practically at 0% and always well below that required by current European Regulations and with external certification.
This “0% Residue” feature has become an added value for our apples, and we are convinced that it is a pioneering project that will be a benchmark in the future and will set a trend.
For the production of Pear and Stone Fruit, our “0% Residue” project is based on strict internal protocols that include periodic multi-residue control analyses carried out in ENAC certified laboratories.
What does the zero waste project consist of?
We firmly believe that “0% Residue” is the way forward to produce high-quality, attractive, healthy fruit at a competitive price.
In addition to seeking an extra guarantee of quality in our fruit, our project stems from FRUIJET’s firm commitment to the environment and the future is evident, as the CR methodology allows for the progressive improvement of some environmental problems generated by the crop. For example, integrated pest management will allow for a drastic reduction in current pesticide doses.
Some of the pillars of pest control in apple, pear and stone fruit trees are the use of mating disruption pheromones (for the control of codling moth, peach twig borer, etc.), encouraging the presence of natural enemies for the control of mites and spider mites, the use of oils for the control of aphids and the use of fungicides with organic farming certification for the control of the most common fungi.
