Making maximal use of co-products helps our suppliers and customers improve their environmental performance, and that’s good for the planet and all its people. In a market where one third of all food is wasted, Duynie Group’s innovative approach to co-products reduces waste and adds value to the entire food chain.

Reducing your environmental impact

Duynie Group Life Cycle Analysis (LCAs) analyse the environmental impact caused by the complete life cycle of a product or service. This helps maximise the potential benefits of a co-product and show how to use them in addressing environmental challenges, while meeting supplier and customer environmental ambitions. With the LCA’s we can substantiate, among others, that valorising co-products contributes to fight worldwide challenges and the sustainability ambitions of suppliers and customers.
Feel free to contact us anytime for your questions about sustainable management of co-products. To request one of the LCA's below click the button "Request LCA fact sheet" in the right upper corner and fill out the form or contact our environmental data specialist (please see the contact details at the end of this page).

Life Cycle Analysis 

- One hectolitre of beer produces 20 kg of spent grains. - Brewers Grains as feed for cows has a lower carbon footprint than nutritionally equivalent compound feed. - Using brewers grains as feed for cattle is more climate efficient than use as fuel.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Brewers' Grains

- With the production of e.g. fries and crisps about 20% is left over as co-product. - Potato co-products as feed for cows or pigs have a lower carbon footprint than nutritionally equivalent compound feed. - Utilising steam peelings as feed is more climate efficient than using it for fuel.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Potato Co-products

- When processing sugar beets in multiple applications approx. 20% beet pulp is released. This can be used as e.g. feed or processed into pet food ingredient. - Beet pulp used as feed for cows has a lower carbon footprint than most nutritionally equivalent compound feed.

Duynie Group enables both its suppliers and its customers to contribute mainly to two of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). By using plant-based co-products from the food, beverage and biofuel industries to create products and applications for feed, food, fermentation and industrial applications, we contribute to SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Resources are used in their best way and waste is avoided.
Also important is our contribution to SDG 13 Climate Action: we collaborate with our suppliers and customers to support them in reducing the CO2 emissions of their production processes products and applications.
