BioMar’s BioSustain program promotes the use of high-quality, low-impact raw materials in our feed recipes. At the heart of this initiative is BioSustain LCA version 7, our advanced tool for environmental impact assessment (EIA).
BioMar is dedicated to providing transparent, science-based evidence for environmental claims. Certified under ISO standards, the BioSustain LCA tool calculates key environmental impacts, including carbon footprint, water use, and land use.
To ensure credibility in sustainability reporting, BioMar adheres to strict data quality standards aligned with the EU Product Environmental Footprint (EU PEF) and Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI) methodologies. Our conservative approach ensures high-quality data from suppliers.
The BioSustain LCA tool supports various corporate sustainability and certification needs, offering features like:
Feed Carbon Footprints: Aligned with the EU PEFCR and SBTi.
Sensitivity Analysis: Transparency in allocation methodologies.
High-Quality Data: Emphasizes primary data from suppliers.
Comprehensive Impact Calculations: Covers impacts per ton of feed, shrimp, or marine fish.
Diverse Methods: For calculating water and land footprints.
Impact Parameters: Highlights critical environmental impacts.
