dsm-firmenich has introduced a specific module for shrimp in Sustell™ in collaboration with Grupo Almar. The new module offers shrimp producers a platform to conduct full lifecycle assessment at scale, providing accurate footprinting.
dsm-firmenich, an innovator in health, nutrition, and beauty, has launched a shrimp module for Sustell™, allowing shrimp farmers to map, reduce the full environmental footprint of their operations and meet environmental sustainability targets.
The new module offers on-demand environmental footprinting for shrimp production of all stages, from hatchery, to nursery, to growout, in addition to a feed module which is a critical contributor to LCA in any animal farming system, explained dsm-firmenich. The new module was developed in collaboration with Grupo Almar, from Ecuador, one of the top 5 global shrimp producers who will be applying this technology across their farms as they look to deliver on their sustainability ambitions.
“When we partnered with dsm-firmenich last year, we knew we wanted to implement technologies that help us improve the environmental sustainability of our shrimp production. We knew when we chose Sustell™ we would be able to go beyond measurement by taking ownership of our full environmental footprint, and now, with the new module for shrimp, we are able to take our sustainability efforts one step further,” said Wolfgang Harten, General Manager/COO of Grupo Almar.
“With the introduction of a specific module for shrimp in Sustell™, shrimp producers now have the platform available to conduct full lifecycle assessment at scale, ensuring a strong return on investment and providing credible and accurate footprinting. Sustell™ unlocks new value opportunities for producers, from improving farm productivity to ecolabeling and sustainable finance, for example. Sustell™ for shrimp demonstrates our commitment and continued innovations to further develop the sustainable production of seafood from aquaculture,” stated Louise Buttle, Sustell™ lead for Aqua & Global Key Account Manager at dsm-firmenich Animal Nutrition & Health.
Backed by a robust ISO certified methodology, Sustell™ is one of the leading SaaS life cycle assessment (LCA) solutions for animal protein. Sustell™ provides the food value chain with a credible, science-based approach to collecting farm data, measuring the environmental footprint, and mapping a course for further sustainability of the animal protein industry.
