In the blue economy, every choice and decision we make, matters.
At biomega®, we believe blue food, including farmed fish, is vital for lasting food security. Aquaculture, while efficient in protein production, faces significant challenges in sustainability and fish health. It’s clear that more must be done by the wider aquaculture industry to preserve natural resources, and we are committed to leading this change through our circular approach.
To promote a sustainable and nutritious food system, aquafeed industry partners are collaborating on legislation and regulations. Norway exemplifies this with its strict guidelines, which ensure the farmed salmon industry’s sustainability, led by the Ministry of Trade, Industries, and Fisheries, the Norwegian Seafood Council, and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
We proudly support initiatives that enhance aquaculture sustainability. Our commitment goes beyond just producing high-quality Salmon Oil and peptides from Atlantic salmon rest raw materials. We’ve successfully tested innovative methods for inbound transportation and are developing new processes to extract even more protein from fish bones, further increasing our circularity.
Partnering for the future
Our focus on producing high-quality Salmon Oil for aquafeed involves gentle and resource-efficient enzymatic hydrolysis in our modern biorefinery. Responsible suppliers and producers in the aquaculture industry understand that real progress requires transparency about environmental impacts and innovations to ensure high-quality final products.
We have demonstrated this commitment through our comprehensive 2023 ESG (Environmental & Social Governance) report, available to download, which includes our first double materiality assessment and aligns with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
By upcycling raw materials from the Atlantic salmon industry, we aim to close the loop, and ensure no material is wasted. This approach promotes fish welfare, enhances product safety, and improves environmental conditions across the supply chain.
A healthy source of nutrition
At biomega, as well as operating ethically and responsibly, we are committed to providing highly nutritious and sustainable ingredients through our natural manufacturing process. Our Salmon Oil is a natural, GMO-free source of essential omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and fat-soluble vitamins, making it ideal for quality and nutrition-led aquafeed.
As we move forward, we remain focused on fully utilizing leftover materials, continually reducing our emissions impact, and improving our organization in every way we can. Ultimately, we aim to play our part in supporting aquaculture industry circularity.
