An all-time low FFDR of 0.37 was reported today in BioMar’s 2024 Sustainability Report. This milestone was reached through the innovative use of alternative ingredients and trimmings, which now represent 55% of the total marine ingredients.
Sourcing raw materials for aquaculture has a significant impact on the environment, particularly when it comes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The extraction, processing, and transportation of these materials contribute substantially to emissions. However, better sourcing practices can help reduce these emissions, and a climate-friendly approach is key to ensuring sustainable aquaculture production.
BioMar has several ways of securing responsibly sourced and safe raw materials.
Yield10 Bioscience and BioMar Group have signed an agreement to form a long-term partnership to commercialise a Camelina crop.
Creating a circular and restorative future for aquaculture means finding new ways to minimise waste, optimise resources, and regenerate natural systems.
BioMar seeks to decouple feed supply chains from directly competing with food for human consumption.
Circular restorative materials are derived from waste or by-products, as defined by the EU waste framework directive.
BioMar consumed approximately 1.6 million tonnes of RMs, which are diverse, sourced globally, and purchased from hundreds of suppliers.
Crear un futuro circular y regenerativo para la acuicultura significa encontrar nuevas formas de minimizar residuos, optimizar recursos y restaurar los sistemas naturales.
Raw materials purchased by BioMar are sourced all over the globe and from very different environments.
Through innovation, many leftovers from human food production can be turned into new valuable resources.
Early results from the “Alga4Fuel&Aqua” research project, in which BioMar Hellenic is participating, indicate that a mix of the microalgae species
