Holle Organic Baby Milk Now CO2 Neutral

Holle organic baby milks are now certified CO2 neutral, a unique achievement for the environmentally aware baby food company. [caption id="attachment_1624" align="alignright" width="442"] Holle's organic baby milks are now CO2 neutral[/caption] The only baby milk in biodynamic quality is now CO2 neutral. The complete life cycle of Holle baby milk formula from the cows' feed, the complete production process through to the transportation of the formula to wholesalers such as Ulula has recently been certified CO2 neutral. Which means every time you buy Holle baby milk you can be assured you're not only giving your baby the best formula but are minimising your impact on the environment.

Helping Parents Reduce their Carbon Footprint

Parents who have the highest expectations when buying their baby's food often chose products in biodynamic quality. Here at Ulula we're particularly pleased to be offering such a large range of Demeter, as well as organic, certified baby foods. This environmentally aware direction pioneered by Holle baby food is now being taken to its next step by moving to carbon neutral production as a way of helping parents reduce their carbon footprint - one product line at a time.

Biodynamic Baby Milk for a Naturally Lower Carbon Footprint

The CO2 balance of Holle baby milk formulas - the summary of all global warming gas emissions which result directly or indirectly from the products - is already significantly less than when compared with conventionally produced foods.

This is because 50% of the emissions caused through biodynamic milk production are absorbed in the soil. The cows graze on biodynamically grown pastures which increases the soil hummus and binds carbon. Furthermore, the cow's fodder is produced on the same farm and is free from synthetic pesticides. This means that no soya-based feed needs to be imported from outside because the cows feed on native grass, lucerne and hay. All this taken together significantly reduces the CO2 balance. Also, Demeter farmers work the arable land with much gentler methods, which also has a positive influence on the balance. For example, ploughing methods prevent soil erosion and better binds carbon. Holle baby milk's CO2 balance was calculated on the basis of the Greenhouse Gas Protocols put together by the certification body TÃœV Nord Cert GmbH and fully complying with the requirements of the United Nations. The total of all global warming gas emissions for Holle baby milk formula production is just 3,250 tons CO2 per year. This compares roughly with the CO2 output of around just 100 families in Germany within the same period.

Socially and Environmentally Responsible Carbon Offsetting

To offset these remaining emissions from the production of its baby milk formulas, Holle supports an international composting project in a 350,000 square metre area of Egyptian desert, converting the land for organic agriculture. I'll tell you more about the Seekam project in a future post and show you some photos of the miracle project that is converting desert to arable land - all powered by Holle baby milks. Whenever possible seasonal, regional, CO2 neutral and, of course, biodynamic are for Holle simply the best choice for healthy and sustainable baby foods. Their 80 year history is testament to their continuing drive to provide the best quality organic baby food. Ulula is proud to partner with Holle to bring you baby milk and baby food you can trust to help your little one thrive. Naturally.
