ADVERTORIAL 64 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2025 imise environmental impact while enhancing efficiency in the feed industry. Additionally, the company’s circular bioeconomy strategies focus on recovering and transforming natural resources, reducing waste, and optimising the use of raw materials. One of the most notable examples is the upcycling of olive leaves—an agricultural byproduct—into valuable botanical extracts. These extracts are rich in polyphenols and other bioactive compounds that serve as functional ingredients in animal feed formulations, offering natural antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Beyond olives, they have actively explored the valorisation of other plant-based raw materials through SustaiNext, a European flagship project led by the company. By repurposing biomass that would otherwise be discarded, Natac not only reduces its environmental footprint but also contributes to a more sustainable and resilient supply chain. In line with global sustainability goals, SustaiNext also emphasises the valorisation of agro-industrial by-products, renewable energy use, and emission reduction to support the industry’s Net Zero ambitions. Through this holistic approach, Natac sets a benchmark for sustainability in the feed industry, providing a scalable model for efficient and environmentally responsible feed production that can be replicated across the sector. LEADING THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE FEED INGREDIENTS The increasing consumer preference for natural and functional feed ingredients underscores the relevance of Natac’s approach. As regulatory frameworks evolve and environmental considerations gain prominence, the demand for sustainable botanical extracts will continue to grow and Natac will be prepared for this transition, ensuring that contract manufacturers have access to premium ingredients that support both animal health and ecological responsibility.
