It has already been five years since Jeff and Marcel van den Bogert started with the mechanical cleaning of reflectors. Ever since, a total of 2,500,000 reflectors have already been cleaned. "Overall, our machine cleaning has helped growers save around 9.3 million Euro," said Jeff van den Bogert. He explains that "the average return achieved by mechanical cleaning is of 3% per reflector. Growers achieve a revenue € 1.25 higher per extra percentage point of light with 2000 hours of light per year, so 3 % x 1,25 per percentage point x 2,500,000 reflectors results in a saving of over 9.3 million Euro for various growers," said Jeff proudly.
