Less emissions thanks to innovative production processes

At PROTEIN PRODUCTS we periodically assess our CO₂ emissions by comparing them to the European average. The standard used to measure the environmental impact is based on the amount of CO₂ emitted for 1’000 kg of standard protein hydrolysates.

Environmental impacts of the production of standard commercial protein hydrolysates (animal origin):

Environmental impact per 1.000 kg of final product	other producers	PROTEIN PRODUCTS
Trade name		PROTEIN-N7.5	PROTEIN-N8.5
Production country	Europe	Germany
Protein content	40 % – 55 %	45 %	55 %
Organic nitrogen content	7 % – 9 %	7,50 %	8,50 %
Origin of raw material	Animal by-products from the leather tanning and slaughtering industry	By-products from the food industry
Production method	Chemical hydrolysis	Ecological friendly Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Waste disposal / Landfill sludge [kg]	600 – 1.600 kg	0 kg	0 kg
Industrial waste water to sewage treatment plant [m³]	9 – 11 m³	0,15 m³	0,15 m³
Groundwater requirement [m³]	4 – 10 m³	0,05 m³	0,05 m³
GHG – Environmental impact scope 1+2+3 [kg CO₂]*	960 – 1.300 kg CO₂	70,4 kg CO₂	256 kg CO₂
Ammonia gas emission into the atmosphere [g]	270 – 280 g	0 g	0 g

Smaller carbon footprint, less water consumption and reduced environmental impact.

Sustainable production without chemicals

We do not produce with chemical hydrolysis, and we do not use dangerous chemicals. We are proud of our strongly reduced carbon footprint reference. When compared with other producers on the market, PROTEIN PRODUCTS leaves a very low ecological footprint to produce protein hydrolysates of comparable quality and market standard price!
