About CirQlar
CirQlar is the name ForFarmers trades its co-products business under: residual flows from food manufacturing, collected and turned back into animal feed rather than discarded. It arrived with the acquisition of Van Triest Veevoeders in 2024, now operates as Van Triest CirQlar in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany, and is the group's main lever for raising the share of circular raw materials in what it sells.
