In this video we explain how feed and additive companies can take meaningful steps toward sustainability by partnering with organizations like the Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI). Kevin Perryman explains how verified data, certified products, and credible LCA tools enable businesses to reduce carbon emissions, align with customer demands, and build trust throughout the supply chain. Learn how transparency and collaboration drive measurable environmental impact, from formulation to consumer.

In this video, we tackle the growing concern of greenwashing, the practice of making unverified or misleading environmental claims, in the context of feed and additive production. You'll learn what greenwashing truly means, why it threatens the credibility of sustainability efforts, and how collaboration with independent organizations like GFLI helps ensure that environmental claims are transparent, data-driven, and independently verified.

The Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI) database is currently being used by an estimated 400–500 professionals worldwide, with licenses spanning developers and end users alike. While Europe remains the primary region of activity, driven by regulatory frameworks such as the PEFCR Feed and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), interest is rapidly growing in other regions, particularly the United States. Laura Nobel from GFLI also touches on how global awareness of carbon footprint reporting is evolving and how GFLI is positioned to support this transition.

In this video, Kevin Perryman explains how feed formulators can integrate product-specific CO₂ equivalency values, such as those from Selko IntelliBond, directly into their formulation software, just like nutrient values for protein or energy. By treating carbon footprint as a measurable input, nutritionists can compare complete feed formulations and identify the combinations that deliver the lowest environmental impact. The video shows how this data-driven approach enables more sustainable feed decisions without compromising nutritional precision, offering a practical tool for lowering emissions in everyday feed production.

Kevin Perryman expands on the role of CO₂ values in feed formulation and explains why there's much more to the carbon footprint equation than just ingredient selection. While incorporating low-emission ingredients through tools like the GFLI database is critical, the video also explores how different trace mineral sources—such as IntelliBond versus sulfates—can affect the physiological efficiency of the animal itself. Backed by new life cycle assessments, Kevin shares how using IntelliBond can reduce the carbon footprint per kilogram of energy-corrected milk by up to 3%, and outlines upcoming research in poultry and swine. Watch to discover how to combine nutrition strategy with animal performance to achieve deeper, system-level sustainability.

In this video, the team addresses frequent questions about the Global Feed LCA Institute (GFLI) database, including what kind of data it contains, how users can get a preview of available datasets, and the steps to become a full member. You’ll learn how to access sample formats, newsletters, and public data overviews through the GFLI website, and discover the added benefits of full membership, such as exclusive data access, technical committee participation, and influence over future developments.
