Every year, the Ground Energy User Platform presents the WKO Sustainability Award. 

 This prestigious award recognises the work of an end user or manager of a thermal energy storage system who manages his or her system in an excellent manner. Thermal energy storage refers to the storage of heat and cold. The installation heats and cools buildings using geothermal energy. To this end, heat and cold are stored on a large scale in water sources deep underground.

On Thursday 23 May, this award was presented to us by Nienke Maas (TNO) at the National Geothermal Energy Symposium. The other nominees were High Tech Campus Eindhoven and Rabobank Head Office in Utrecht. The jury described us as decisive. While many other companies opted for a wood-fired boiler (with subsidy) or CHP installation, our company stuck to its sustainable long-term vision. 

We are, of course, delighted to hear that our sustainable efforts are being recognised, as well as the commitment we have shown over many years, together with Ivo Everts of AtesControl, to optimising this system, which has resulted in a highly effective thermal energy storage system.

On 9 January 2026, Van der Avoird Trayplant will host an organised excursion to explain aspects of the European PlantGoed project. This day will be combined with a Delphy field trip, during which Van der Avoird Trayplant's various production facilities and cultivation techniques will be presented. 

The European PlantGoed project is an Interreg project (Flanders–Netherlands) that focuses on the development of innovative and sustainable solutions for the year-round production of soft fruits, such as strawberries and raspberries. The central focus is on improving and refining tailor-made plant propagation techniques. The project aims to increase efficiency and sustainability within the soft fruit sector through system innovation, with a strong focus on local and regional cooperation between research, growers and other chain partners.

NED Customer evening 

23-10-2025

On Thursday 23 October, NED Personeel and v.d. Avoird Trayplant jointly organised a knowledge event on the theme of “The new temporary employment” from 1 January 2026.

The rules in the temporary employment sector will be significantly tightened from 2026 onwards. Equal terms of employment, the new pension scheme, the shortened phase system, the Flexible Workers (Greater Security) Act and the WTTA admission requirement. Naturally, this will also have consequences for Trayplant. What consequences? In any case, we are now well prepared. Partly thanks to the knowledge of NED Personeel.
