There Is No Planet B.
It is estimated that, by 2050, an extra 265 million tons of protein will be needed to meet the demands of the world’s population. Finding new protein sources is essential. Livestock is a major contributor to climate change, accounting for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing meat consumption also impacts global deforestation and both land and water use.
The world needs a high-quality, alternative protein source that has a similar biological value to animal proteins but does not require excess agricultural resources, arable land or irrigation, and that is also inexhaustibly available.
For a Greener Tomorrow.
We want you to help us make our planet become a better place without any big effort. Yeastin® Protein is probably the most sustainable protein source in the world. The carbon footprint of using this by-product is unmatched by any other protein, even plant proteins. Our carbon footprint is significantly lower than most of the other protein production sources.
Recent research results of the Institute for Ecopreneurship at the
FHNW
are impressive: a vegan burger patty made from Yeastin® protein by Yeastup has an even smaller ecological footprint than one made from pea protein.
Circular Economy Is Key.
The circular economy is characterized by the efficient use of raw materials over the longest time period possible. If material and product cycles can be closed, raw materials can be used again and again. In the circular economy, products and materials remain in circulation.
As a result, fewer primary raw materials are consumed compared to a linear economic system. In addition, the value of the products is retained for longer and less waste is produced.
