The soybeans have to be imported from all over the world to Europe. They are shipped to Belgium, more specifically to Antwerp. From there, till now the beans have been transported by trucks to Wevelgem, where you can find the biggest factory of Alpro. The company however is planning to bring the beans by barge through inland waterways as this is less polluting. Thanks to this waterway transport, there will be 4000 trucks less on the highways in Belgium. Similar processes are also applied in the two other factories of Alpro, which are situated respectively in Issenheim(France) and in Kettering(UK). So Alpro brings the soybeans on the most environment friendly way to their factories.
