More sustainability

Evonik’s products and services help farmers develop feeds that reduce nitrogen emissions, lower feed costs, and promote resource efficiency. In particular, our externally-certified life cycle assessments (LCAs) provide insights into the environmental impact of livestock farming. These LCAs demonstrate the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions farmers can achieve when using Evonik products and services in feed formulations, without affecting animal performance. They allow producers to access data they need to choose lower-footprint products, reduce their Scope 3 emissions and develop more sustainable feed products.

Evonik's solutions offer livestock farmers the lowest product-specific carbon footprint options available. For instance, the product-specific carbon footprint of MetAMINO® is about 35% lower than the average product carbon footprint of industrially-available methionine sources.^* Evonik’s other feed additives also offer outstanding sustainability benefits. Biolys®, our L-lysine source for animal feed, is close to carbon neutral. How is this possible? Evonik’s global production network is being constantly upgraded by implementing technologies such as green hydrogen, by investing in backward integration, and by other efficiency improvements, for instance in its biotechnology platform and the repurposing of co-products.
