Environmental Commitment

Sustainable. Traceable. Exceptional.

As a company dedicated to purity of product, we are fully committed to environmental protection in every aspect of our business, from harvesting and manufacturing to the practices of our corporate offices.

Our selective process begins with fisheries that adhere to rigorous global sustainability standards. Many of our products are Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified, and all our Omega-3 fish oil is 100% traceable to its fishery and is International Fish Oil Standard (IFOS) and Friend of the Sea (FOS) certified.

Fish Supply Sustainability

With vested interest in maintaining a sustainable supply of fish oil, we follow the fish species recommendations of the Environmental Defense Fund and Natural Resource Defense Council. Based on their criteria, KD Nutra® can be regarded as a “Best Choice” bulk supplier of fish oil.

Production Facility: Brattvaag, Norway

Norway is the first nation on earth pledged to be completely carbon-neutral by 2030.Our plant in Norway operates chiefly on hydroelectric power. We also use residual fish oil byproducts as biofuel at the facility, resulting in virtually no waste of materials.

Whenever possible, we use 1,000 kg “totes” constructed on a hardwood pallet, with an exterior case of double corrugated paperboard shell rather than conventional steel drums to ship larger volume fish oil products. To a large extent this:

  • Creates shipping efficiency
  • Reduces landfill
  • Eliminates over 5 steel drums per tote

Our liquid bottling line effectively pursues the use of environmentally friendly materials.

Other plant-wide policies include:

  • Rigorous recycling program
  • Compact fluorescent and other energy-efficient bulbs
  • Majority of employees live within 10 kilometers, reducing commutation emissions

Softgel Production & Bottling Facility

Other eco-friendly practices:

  • Ship materials to plant using very efficient, high cube intermodal containers
  • Recycle bulk containers of various capsule fill materials
  • Encourage customers to use PCR (Post Consumer Resin) bottles, widely regarded as the most environmentally friendly plastic
  • Provide environmentally friendly label options, e.g. 100% post-consumer fiber printed with natural soy ink
