Phibro launches companywide Sustainable Solutions Platform

When these products are incorporated into the animal’s diet as a nutrition source, producers can materially reduce the carbon intensity of animal feed to allow organizations to meet their sustainability goals while supporting animal health.

“Our Verratain Verified Sustainability Solutions represent a natural evolution of Phibro’s portfolio as our customers increasingly seek credible, scalable sustainability solutions,” said Dani Bendheim, incoming CEO of Phibro.

“These offerings complement our existing animal health and nutrition solutions while directly addressing the evolving sustainability needs of animal protein and petfood producers and their downstream customers.”

Targeting a major Scope 3 emissions hotspot

The World Benchmarking Alliance reports that 165 of the world’s 350 most influential food and agriculture companies have disclosed Scope 3 climate commitments, which typically call for 20–30% reductions in value‑chain emissions by 2030.

At scale, this implies an estimated USD 80–300 billion per‑year decarbonization value signal under SBTi‑aligned internal carbon pricing.

Feed is typically the largest source of Scope 3 emissions for livestock, poultry and aquaculture producers. By focusing on feeding a low carbon alternative nutrient source, Verratain directly targets one of the most significant emissions drivers in animal protein supply chains.

Verratain Spirulina and Verratain Omega Oil are produced by VAXA Technologies in their proprietary state of the art indoor cultivation platform directly connected to renewable geothermal energy, clean water resources, and controlled growing conditions.

The production process yields low‑carbon feed material that is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing feeding systems. The program utilizes life cycle assessment-based solutions to create effective Scope 3 decarbonization which is incorporated into the product’s life-cycle assessments, in accordance with leading international standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

Leadership to build and scale the platform

To lead the Sustainable Solutions Platform and the Verratain portfolio, Phibro recently appointed Peter Bunce as Head of Sustainable Solutions.

Mr Bunce brings more than two decades of experience in agricultural sustainability and voluntary carbon markets, including building large‑scale programs that connect farmers with downstream consumer packaged goods companies and retailers.

“I joined Phibro because of its deep integration across global protein and dairy supply chains, where scalable solutions can deliver meaningful emissions reductions,” he said.

“After many years working in agricultural voluntary emissions markets, I have rarely seen innovations that combine impact and practicality like Verratain.”

Advancing a more efficient and resilient food system

The launch of the Verratain product line marks a pivotal commercial milestone for Phibro’s sustainability initiatives.

The company anticipates the commencement of initial sales within the coming months, providing early adopters with a first-to-market opportunity to integrate these low-carbon microalgae solutions into their production systems.

Looking ahead, Phibro views the Sustainable Solutions Platform as a long‑term growth business that will expand beyond the initial products and partnership.
