The Sustell™ Intelligence Platform is a user-friendly SaaS platform (AWS cloud based) for data input, measurement and visualization of full environmental footprint results:
By analyzing the environmental impact of 19 different categories, Sustell™ is the most comprehensive sustainability intelligence platform of its type.
Total of all climate change categories: biogenic, fossil and land use & transformation.
Impact due to emissions of biogenic derived molecules. Since CO2 has a 0-characterization factor, due to its short life cycle, this is mainly connected to CH4 emissions (methane).
Higher concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG’s) in the atmosphere including CO2.
Impact due to emissions connected to Land Use Change (LUC). This is due to depletion of carbon stock caused by for example deforestation.
Measuring the impact on the global available land used for cultivation as well as the impact on soil quality.
Fossil depletion refers to the depletion of resources that contain hydrocarbons including coal, oil and natural gas.
Minerals and metals are non-renewable resources, which means that consumption of these resources can lead to depletion.
Eutrophication is the enrichment of a water or terrestrial body with nutrients, usually an excess amount of nutrients that induces growth of plants and algae to the biomass load. The extreme growth may result in oxygen depletion and other forms of over-competition that might cause species loss.
Caused by atmospheric deposition of acidic substances and serious changes are harmful for specific species.
All solid and liquid particles suspended in air many of which are hazardous. It includes organic and inorganic particles, for instance ammonia, sulphur-dioxide and particulate matter.
All solid and liquid particles suspended in air many of which are hazardous. It includes organic and inorganic particles, for instance ammonia, sulphur-dioxide and particulate matter.
Caused by the release of atoms, which travel as electromagnetic waves or particles. When the atom has sufficient energy it can cause ionisation or remove electrons from an atom. Ionizing radiation can be dangerous. Radioactive substances exist naturally, examples are rocks and soil, however these levels are rather low.
Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule containing three oxygen atoms. These molecules form a gaseous layer in the atmosphere (stratosphere) that protects our planet from harmful radiations that come from the sun.
Adverse health effects on human beings caused by the intake of toxic substances through inhalation of air, food/water ingestion, penetration through the skin insofar as they are related to cancer.
Caused by the intake of toxic substances through inhalation of air, food/water ingestion, penetration through the skin insofar as they are related to non- cancer effects that are not caused by particulate matter/respiratory inorganics or ionising radiation.
Also known as urban smog (air pollution) or photochemical air pollution. This kind of visible air pollution composes of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, ozone, smoke, carbon monoxide and CFCs.
Fresh water is a scarce and irreplaceable natural resource for which agriculture is heavily reliant upon. This impact category also considers the water scarcity index related to the region where water is sourced from.
Eutrophication is the enrichment of a water or terrestrial body with nutrients, usually an excess amount of nutrients that induces growth of plants and algae to the biomass load. The extreme growth may result in oxygen depletion and other forms of over-competition that might cause species loss.

Human toxicity and ecotoxicity accounts for the environmental persistence (fate), accumulation in the human food chain (exposure), and toxicity (effect) of a chemical.
Sustell™ is an intuitive and user-friendly SaaS platform (Amazon Web Services – cloud based) for the precise calculation and improvement of ISO assured Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based environmental impacts.
Sustell™ makes the invisible, visible. By utilizing primary farm-level data and detailed feed data, you can run your own environmental footprint assessments and model multiple intervention scenarios for improvement whenever required – transparently, credibly, farm by farm, system by system.
Now you have the power and independence of environmental footprint assessment at your fingertips.
Sustell™ measures the footprint of milk, pork, chicken, eggs and salmon with beef and shrimp available soon.
Continuous collaboration with leading organizations and customers around the world ensures that Sustell™ stays current with the latest science on environmental footprinting to meet the evolving needs of environmental reporting.
Accuracy, transparency and the global recognition of results are secured thanks to the use of farm and feed primary data, accepted methodological calculations and recognized databases, ensuring your value chain sees and understands the enhanced value of sourcing animal protein from you.
Sustell™ is connected to Agri-footprint® 5.0, the leading feed ingredient LCA database.
Sustell™ will be updated to the latest LCI databases such as Agri-footprint® 6.0 and GFLI 2.0 and has the ability to connect to additional databases. Custom, branded or company specific, compliant Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data can also be added as required.
Cutting through the myriad of certification schemes and standards, Sustell™ provides a single, globally recognized reference point for comparing the environmental sustainability performance of animal protein production processes and is based on industry reference data.
As a result, Sustell™ provides farm-specific animal protein footprints following the latest LCA standards, guidelines and resources including:
International validation and recognition of your environmental footprint calculations are assured to IPCC standards meeting ISO 14040/44 for LCA by DNV, an independent 3rd party and one of the leading certification organizations in the world.
Sustell™ harnesses the power of Blonk’s APS-footprint, an independent and objective calculation tool adhering to internationally recognized LCA calculation methodologies and guidelines.
By partnering with independent experts we provide trusted, credible and objective measurement which is critically important with the increasing focus and scrutiny on the environmental footprint of animal production.
Quickly and easily compare the environmental footprints of different feed formulations, farms, benchmarks and historical performance to understand how best to reduce your environmental footprint. The powerful Business Intelligence solution enables:
We strongly believe in open innovation and collaboration to bring the best solutions to our customers. We combine our expertise and leading solutions with those of third parties to provide you with a truly unrivalled, objective service that delivers on your sustainability goals.
