METEX measures the environmental footprint of its products using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
The multi-criteria approach enables us to analyse the environmental performance of our products: impact on climate change, water consumption, consumption of fossil resources, etc.
LCA is the most advanced standardised multi-criteria method (ISO 14040, Feed PEFCR, European methodological reference framework), which includes all the stages required to establish priorities for improvement measures.
In 2022, a life cycle analysis will be available for 98% of the products marketed by METEX (compared with 90% in 2021; excluding co-products) and for 56% of all the volumes marketed by METEX (compared with 59% in 2021)!
The LCAs carried out clearly show that METEX products are a first-rate solution for decarbonising the value chains in which they are used. For example, the carbon footprint of amino acids produced in France is five times lower than that of amino acids produced in China.
The LCA data for our products is reviewed by independent experts and made available to our customers, as well as in the official database of ADEME, the French Agency for Ecological Transition: Agribalyse.
