The carbon footprint of Belgian milk is falling, according to research conducted by Leuven University. The factor driving these dwindling emissions are increased productivity per dairy cow and the enhanced composition of the cattle feed. 

Not only is Actimel Danone’s first fresh dairy brand to achieve carbon-neutrality fort he production cycle as a whole. As a first in Belgium, Actimel is also set to work closely with its dairy farmers to administer feed supplement to cattle to reduce methane emissions. 

The dairy sector continues to take important steps towards sustainability, as shown by the latest sustainability report from MilkBE, the branch organisation of the dairy sector.

At the start of 2022, dairy cooperative Milcobel will be bringing its range of Brugge cheeses onto the market, completely CO2-neutral. This makes Milcobel a trendsetter in the cheese market.
