LCA, GHG Assessment, CSR...

Boost your environmental performance

You would like to :

  • Know your environmental performance
    Identify your strengths and margins for progress using appropriate assessment tools (LCAs, GHG balances, CSR diagnostics).

  • Reduce the environmental impact of your processes
    Optimize your consumption of energy, water and raw materials to limit emissions and waste.

  • Develop eco-responsible products and processes
    Innovate by integrating eco-design and favoring sustainable and circular solutions.

  • Guarantee your regulatory compliance
    Anticipate legal changes and ensure the long-term viability of your business by complying with environmental standards.

We support you in reducing your environmental footprint, by proposing tailor-made solutions adapted to your needs and the specific nature of your products and processes.

We put at your disposal the ITERG Group's know-how and business/environmental expertise in biomass recovery processes for food and non-food uses.

Multidisciplinary approach Environment & eco-design

Our environmental studies are part of a multidisciplinary approach that works in perfect synergy with projects aimed at improving eco-friendly processes and developing bio-based product formulations, both in the food sector and in the plant-based chemical industry.

This integrated approach combines our environmental expertise with initiatives undertaken by other ITERG units, helping to reduce the environmental footprint of your products, while enabling you to communicate your environmental initiatives to your customers and partners.

Examples of interventions

Coordination of RMT ACTIA ECOVAL

Methodological development specific to the environmental assessment of food products and processes, and consumer information.
