At Van Raam, we believe it is very important to work as circularly and sustainably as possible. In this article you can read more about Van Raam's circular and sustainable policy and how we want to achieve this.
Van Raam is committed to working as sustainable as possible. This can also be expressed very precisely. The new factory is virtually energy-neutral by the use of solar panels, 25 sealed ground sources, heat pumps, LED lighting, the most modern insulation and triple Aglass.
In the factory there is a very consistent waste separation in the field of: paper, iron, plastic, tires, powder, batteries, chemicals, oil/water, cleaning cloths and toners.
In the factory, the sustainable designed Van Raam bicycles are powder coated in a very energy efficient way.
For Van Raam sustainability is to contribute in the long term on keeping people healthy and in motion. Where manufacturers of standard bicycles stop, Van Raam starts. That is what motivates us. We do this in a sustainable way. We contribute to various sustainable development goals (SDG's) and add multiple value. For Van Raam the SDG's below are the most important:
By focusing on real quality and having the best product, in cooperation with the customer, Van Raam is moving towards a healthy future. A healthy future for the user, for our employees, for the immediate environment in which we produce and for a better world.

Our mission is therefore not coincidental:Van Raam offers people with a disability sustainable and contemporary mobility.

Sustainable entrepreneurship and saving energy. These are the main goals of the initiative 'Achterhoek Onderneemt Duurzaam' (Achterhoek is a sustainable business). Van Raam has done an energy scan through this initiative to get an idea how much energy we can save and what sustainable measures we can take. Jan-Willem Boezel tells in this article more about the energy scan and the results of the scan.
In the beginning of 2019 Van Raam moved to a new bicycle factory. This new bicycle factory is a modern and sustainable building. In addition to triple glass, solar panels and a modern installation system, Van Raam recently also got a new air humidification system of B&B Humidification. This special system humidifies the air by atomizing water, also called adiabatic humidification. Read more about the system and read the article in the magazine Installatie Totaal.
