BioMar and Síldarvinnslan to build a net-zero aquafeed facility in Iceland

August 12 2022

BioMar Group and Síldarvinnslan have signed a memorandum of understanding to build a modern high-tech aquafeed production facility in Iceland. Through this move, BioMar will become the only global feed company in the Icelandic market. The venture has an ambition to build a facility that will achieve net-zero within its own operations.

Circular Economy Thinking

June 14 2022

BioMar seeks to decouple feed supply chains from directly competing with food for human consumption. Tapping into unutilized waste streams is a way to add value to feed and the planet.

Using waste to make valuable products is the backbone of the circular economy. Upcycled processing wastes can provide an excellent alternative to traditional aquafeed proteins (e.g. soy and fish meal) and provides a market for otherwise lost resources.

Decarbonisation of our operations

May 31 2022

As part of our 2030 Climate Action ambition, BioMar established a team with expert external support to develop a detailed masterplan for decarbonising our operations. We identified the steps required to reduce our Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions aligned with climate science and a commitment to a science-based 1.5°C target.

Ambitious science-based reduction targets

May 24 2022

BioMar has become the first global aquafeed supplier to commit to ambitious GHG emissions reduction targets following 1.5°C pathway. To make these reductions a reality, BioMar has developed a long term masterplan focusing on operations and broader supply chain partners to create innovative solutions that make sustainability profitable.

Responsible shrimp

May 10 2022

We have partnered with Earthworm Foundation, an international non-profit undertaking social and environmental projects, to drive responsible shrimp projects in Ecuador. Here, we redefine the feed model and create capacity building initiatives to drive social change and best sustainability practices in the region.

Over time, microalgae will likely overtake the role as the primary source for omega 3 in aquafeeds.

May 4 2022

BioMar first introduced microalgae omega-3 into commercial salmon feeds in 2016 after three years of R&D and planning. BioMar worked with several salmon farmers and retailers willing to take a chance on microalgae, and today’s success is an excellent example of collaborating across the value chain.

Circular Feed Bags

May 2 2022

Being mindful of our planet's resources at BioMar extends beyond our feed recipes to include the packaging of our aquafeeds. Our local markets have established innovative solutions for upcycling their feed bags.

BioMar brings focus to the blue journey towards increased sustainability

April 21 2022

Knowledge of several critical environmental impact areas of aquafeeds is essential in helping make sustainable decisions. That is why some BioMar feeds in our Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) Divisions will now include new sustainability indicators on technical product datasheets. This knowledge will help farmers in their pursuit to reduce negative environmental impacts.

Local communities repurposing feed bags

April 17 2022

In BioMar Chile, most aquafeed maxi bags are sent to recycling. However, some feed bags have been set aside for a capacity building initiative to support local communities in repurposing them.
