Puratos introduces sector-first sustainability analysis program
Puratos Group has launched a first-in-class Life-Cycle Assessments (LCA) initiative to help customers accelerate their sustainability ambitions.
Puratos has become the first bakery ingredients supplier to begin LCA analyses—the renowned barometer for supply chain sustainability— of its entire product range, beginning with core products from its pioneering Plant Forward range of plant-based dairy, egg, and butter replacement solutions. LCA studies concluded that the environmental impact of Puratos’s innovative egg-wash alternative Sunset Glaze was 59 per cent lower than pasteurized eggs, and butter alternative Mimetic had an environmental impact three times lower than dairy butter. This means that switching from dairy butter to Mimetic could cut one ton of CO2 emissions for every one ton of croissants produced —the equivalent of planting 50 trees.
