We look for the most efficient, renewable and sustainable sources of these compounds and find them in citrus peels, seaweed, locust beans, guar seeds, sugar beets, palm oil, wood pulp, switchgrass, biomass and many other sources.
One of the keys to achieving a sustainable supply chain is reducing material intensity and making the most efficient use possible of raw materials. At Danisco, the ratio of material input to output has held steady over the past three years.

Danisco’s packaging policy reflects our commitment to the principles of sustainability and resource preservation, encompassing responsible selection, use and disposition of packaging materials.
Our aim is to minimise the environmental burden on customers and society by reducing, reusing and recycling these materials. Several packaging initiatives have lead to a strong increase in the percentage of reusable packaging materials in our product packaging.

In 2008, Danisco launched Project Beagle, a procurement initiative for non-strategic materials.
A key component of the project involves looking afresh at how we buy and use packaging from an economic and environmental standpoint. One outcome will be a catalogue of alternative packaging that is environmentally superior to current solutions.
