Thrive™ is Better For The Planet
Less Land Use
We believe in nourishing people today and for generations to come with the earth’s resources in mind – which is why we created an oil made from one of nature’s first foods and an original source of oils and good fats – algae.
Thrive™ Reserve Algae Oil produces significantly more oil per acre than most other oils, including olive oil.
>200X Less Water Than Olive Oil
LESS WATER USE
Thrive™ Reserve Algae Oil requires less water consumption than almost any other oil.
The low water consumption is due to the fact that the sugarcane feedstock is rain-fed and a contained fermentation process is used in the production of the algae oil. Furthermore, much of the treated wastewater from the production is placed back on the sugarcane fields as “fertigation”.
Circularity In Action
Less Greenhouse gas
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with producing Thrive™ Reserve Algae Oil is lower than nearly all other cooking oils. This low GHG impact is due to two primary factors:
1) the low carbon footprint of the sugarcane feedstock;
2) the waste sugarcane material (bagasse) provides all of the energy to power both the sugar mill and the co-located algae oil production plant.
