What Van Triest CirQlar does
Van Triest CirQlar B.V. is a Dutch circular-feed trading company headquartered in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ForFarmers Nederland B.V. It was formed in late 2024 through the combination of ForFarmers' CirQlar Nutrition division (formerly DML) and the acquired Van Triest Veervoeders. The company's core function is sourcing, quality-controlling, and distributing food-industry co-products (reststromen) — including perspulp, Corngold, brewers' grains, potato pulp fibers, citrus pulp, beet pulp pellets, and liquid wheat starch — for use as animal feed by dairy, beef, pig, and poultry farmers. It serves customers across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and the UK through sector-specialized regional account managers and its own combination-trailer transport fleet, with organic-certified products distributed through Reudink.
The underlying technology is operational rather than software-based: a three-stage dry-matter sampling protocol (fresh, retention, and customer samples) for quality assurance, CO2 footprint calculation of feed ingredients using FAO definitions (with 67% of ingredients classified as unsuitable for human consumption), and specialized combination trailers that carry both stackable and liquid loads to minimize empty kilometers. The product portfolio spans roughly 100 SKUs across four categories (ruminants, pigs, hay and straw, and organic), priced transactionally per load or per percent dry matter, with throughput contracts (e.g., Corngold) and lowest-price guarantees (e.g., perspulp) used to lock in seasonal volume.
The business model is a two-sided trading intermediation: Van Triest CirQlar purchases co-products from breweries, sugar factories, potato processors, ethanol plants, and dairy processors under supply agreements, then resells and delivers these to livestock farmers via direct field sales, capturing a margin on the spread. Revenue is generated through product margins, with sector-specific account managers managing defined geographic territories and providing ration advice. Certifications including GMP+ FSA, GMP+ FRA, ISCC, and SecureFeed underpin regulatory eligibility across EU feed chains.

Revenue model
- Co-product Sales to Livestock Farmers: Van Triest CirQlar purchases circular co-products (reststromen) from food industry suppliers (breweries, sugar factories, potato processors, bio-ethanol plants) and resells them to livestock farmers (dairy cattle, beef cattle, goats, pigs, poultry). Revenue is generated through product margins on the sale of these feed co-products. Products are sold both as single feed materials and incorporated into mixed feeds. Pricing includes unit-based pricing per percent dry matter for products like perspulp.

Van Triest CirQlar partnerships and signals
Strategic signalPartnerships
Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.
- Tate & LylecoreVan Triest CirQlar and Tate & Lyle expanded their partnership to include distribution of citrus pulp from Tate & Lyle's production facility in Großenbrode, Germany. Van Triest CirQlar handles planning, transport, sales, quality management, and administrative processing for citrus pulp customers in Northern Germany. The companies have worked together since 1994, with Van Triest CirQlar already distributing maize-related co-products from the Netherlands. The partnership aligns with both companies' sustainability strategies to utilize circular products and reduce CO2 emissions. Tate & Lyle aims to use 100% of its waste by 2030.
- ForFarmers Feed FactoriescoreVan Triest CirQlar co-products are processed in ForFarmers feed factories, such as the facility in Delden which produces poultry feed. The processing of circular raw materials in feed production requires technical adaptations including modified silos, funnels, and pumping systems. ForFarmers factories have invested in new pumping rooms and additional raw material funnels to handle co-products like chips and beer pulp.
- Royal AvebecoreRoyal Avebe is a potato starch cooperative that processes starch potatoes. Van Triest CirQlar is an important distributor of their co-products, including potato starch fibers (aardappelpersvezels). The partnership involves annual seasonal supply of potato starch co-products to dairy farmers, with Van Triest CirQlar distributing the first deliveries each season.
- ForFarmerscoreVan Triest CirQlar is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ForFarmers Nederland B.V. The company was formed in late 2024 when CirQlar Nutrition (a ForFarmers division previously operating under the name DML) acquired Van Triest Veervoeders. Van Triest CirQlar benefits from ForFarmers' network of over 26,000 farmers across ~30 production locations in Europe. ForFarmers provides data, tools, and advisory support. Van Triest CirQlar's transport fleet also performs logistics services for ForFarmers, transporting raw materials between ForFarmers sites.
