Bon Vivant Presents “Europe’s First” Peer Reviewed Life Cycle Analysis for Precision Fermentation Sector

French company Bon Vivant has conducted what it claims to be the first peer-reviewed life cycle analysis in Europe for its precision fermentation products, specifically milk proteins. The analysis, conducted by independent expert Lorie Hamelin from INRAE, aimed to compare the environmental impact of Bon Vivant's milk proteins to conventional milk proteins. The results showed a significant positive impact, with a 72% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, an 81% reduction in water consumption, and 99% less used and occupied farmland.

With plans to launch in the US market by 2025, Bon Vivant's founders are proud of the analysis results and see them as a major step forward for the company and the industry. They believe that their technology can contribute to the sustainability of the French dairy industry and help combat climate change. The company aims to demonstrate that products made with their proteins are of equal quality to those made with conventional milk, highlighting the complementarity of the two methods in overcoming challenges faced by the industry.
