LEVER 3 – USES & END OF LIFE – STRATEGY
In wastewater treatment, products from the same range
neutralise the eff luent pH and reduce phosphorus and
nitrogen, which can then be recycled as fertiliser in
crystallised form.
Phosphea: transitioning the market towards
greater added value
Évolution
is the latest product range from Phosphea, and
features exclusive products developed specif ically to
meet the major challenges faced by the sector — perhaps
the most important of which is improving livestock
performance — at the same time as taking greater care of
the environment.
Hum
IPHORA is an excellent example of these
twin ambitions in action, because it combines precision
nutrition with a reduction in phosphorus emissions from
bedding. To qualify as ‘committed’, our products must make
a tangible contribution to animal welfare, feed eff iciency
and/or environmental emissions reduction.
TIMAC AGRO: conserving natural resources by
optimising agronomic eff iciency
The research conducted by TIMAC AGRO in plant nutrition
and livestock husbandry targets the development of new
tech solutions to boost the sustainability and resilience
of agrosystems. The ultimate aim of this focus is to
improve the eff iciency of nutrients in ways that maximise
their bioavailability and optimise their use in agricultural
environments. TIMAC AGRO products are designed to
deliver tangible environmental benef its. For example, some
of their solutions signif icantly reduce nitrogen volatilisation
and (N
2
0) greenhouse gas emissions, while others improve
soil and plant properties or are made using renewable raw
materials.
In the soil, air, water, plants and more generally across the
agrosystem, the improvements achieved are meticulously
quantif ied to guarantee measurable and sustainable results.
Magnesia: harnessing the benef its of
magnesium to deliver virtuous solutions
The industrial applications entities of our Magnesia activity
offer magnesium-based solutions that help its customers
to reduce the environmental impact of their facilities and
systems. Examples include the vessel exhaust gas scrubbing
solution developed for the maritime industry (see p. 21 for
more details).
100%
of TIMAC AGRO tech product
launches maximise eff iciency
to deliver an effective
response to the challenges
faced by farmers in producing
more and better.
Groupe Roullier fully integrates environmental issues at
every stage of its research and development processes
to minimise the impacts associated with the use of its
products, while delivering sustainability benef its. Each
activity pursues these twin ambitions in ways that
address its own specif ic challenges.
Products that deliver
environmental benef its
during their use phase
The Phosphea target for 2025
is to achieve a
50%
representation of ‘committed’
products in its animal
nutrition range, and ensure
that they account for at least
10% of total sales by volume.
