Supporting “Blue Food, Green Solutions” at Aqua 2024
BioMar supports paving the way towards Blue Food and Green Solutions by being the Gold Sponsor of the AQUA 2024 event.
We make sustainability tangible
BioMar understands we need to share our natural resources with the other inhabitants of this planet. Aquaculture should take only our share. That is why we use both certified krill and wild fish, whilst seeking alternative nutrients that don’t take from the human or animal food chain. Helping to ensure there is a tomorrow for us all.
BioMar’s sustainability programme and concept, BioSustain™, helps to drive the uptake of high quality, low-impact raw materials in feed recipes, thereby promoting sustainable aquaculture and responsibly produced seafood.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the systematic process of identifying and quantifying the environmental consequences of a current or proposed action/product. It improves transparency, practicability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, credibility, and accountability.
BioMar uses a sophisticated and dynamic Lifecycle Analysis (LCA) tool based on high-quality background data and expert LCA knowledge. We use it extensively to support customers and stakeholders seeking EIA documentation for certification.
The BioSustain LCA tool is used strategically and for accountability to document environmental impacts and improve our business. It also provides a service to our customers through environmental reporting, strategic decision making, ESG benchmarking, and green financing.
BioMar plays an active role in building a circular economy. By using Material Flow Analysis (MFA), we map key materials and identify business opportunities for increasing recycling and closing resource loops. MFA is an analytical tool that tracks and quantifies the consumption and losses of materials or substances within a defined system to identify strategies to optimise their use.
As feed may depend on scarce resources, BioMar prioritises minimising resource consumption and recovering and reusing by-products throughout the supply chain. We use MFA to aid in this strategic decision-making and partner with suppliers to reach our sustainability and circular economy goals.
Blue Impact™ solutions are the commercial outcomes of BioSustain™. Through the sustainability tools, methods and know-how, we facilitate business initiatives that materialise into products or services aimed at sustainable development. Blue Impact™ is the “umbrella” term for these solutions.
Aquafeed contributes up to 80% of most environmental impacts of aquaculture production. With the careful selection of raw materials, the best available technology, and cutting-edge knowledge of fish nutrition, it is possible to significantly reduce the direct and indirect impacts on the planet without sacrificing performance.
Blue Impact services go beyond low-impact feeds and include reporting solutions, consultancy services, green finance, and digital transparency solutions like Discover. With aquafeeds being crucial to the responsible growth of the aquaculture industry, our Blue Impact services are designed to progressively transform aquaculture.
