Yuxin Bio: Championing Circular Economy and Sustainable Development

As a leading enterprise in deep soybean processing in China, Shandong Yuxin Bio-technology Co., Ltd. integrates environmental protection throughout its industrial chain under the mission of “Nature gives me, health gives you”. The company has received national recognition, including “National Standardised Demonstration Unit for Circular Economy”, “National Environmentally Friendly Enterprise”, and “First National Green Factory”, which reflect its commitment to sustainability.

Pioneering a Circular Economy Model

Yuxin Bio has established a comprehensive circular economy system, achieving a 96% resource utilisation rate through five closed-loop recycling systems covering raw materials, by-products, water, energy, and waste. Leveraging advanced equipment and independent research capabilities, the company maximises the value of soybeans, producing a wide range of soy protein derivatives and related products.

Its innovative biomass and sludge cogeneration project enables clean energy self-sufficiency, significantly reducing dependence on fossil fuels and waste emissions. Through initiatives such as waste heat recovery and biogas power generation, Yuxin Bio saves 1.2 million tonnes of water and over 40,000 tonnes of standard coal equivalent each year, while reducing pollutant emissions by tens of thousands of tonnes. These efforts meet stringent international environmental standards while generating substantial economic returns.

Embedding Sustainability Across the Value Chain

Yuxin Bio applies circular economy principles to product innovation by converting by-products such as soybean dietary fibre into valuable health food ingredients in order to respond to global market demands. A life cycle assessment (LCA) of its core product, soybean isolate protein, ensures continuous improvements in environmental performance.

The company promotes sustainable agricultural practices by establishing certified non-GMO and organic soybean bases in collaboration with Beidahuang Group. Downstream, it supports low-carbon logistics solutions, building a closed-loop green supply chain from farm to consumer.

With sustainability embedded in its corporate strategy, Yuxin Bio is committed to delivering safe, healthy, and eco-friendly soy solutions while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable global food industry.

Strengthening Sustainable Sourcing Through ProTerra Certification

Yuxin Bio considers ProTerra certification to be a vital step in translating its environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments into verifiable operational standards. The certification requires robust traceability systems, which will enable Yuxin Bio to track raw materials from farm to factory and substantiate its sustainability claims.

By strengthening its internal sustainable sourcing processes and aligning them with growing stakeholder expectations for transparency, ProTerra certification helps reinforce trust in the Yuxin Bio brand. Adopting internationally recognised standards such as ProTerra also supports the broader industry’s transformation towards more sustainable agricultural practices and opens up new market opportunities.

御馨生物:倡导循环经济与可持续发展

Sustainable Development Initiatives of Shandong Yixin Bio-technology Co.

作为中国大豆深加工领域的领军企业,山东御馨生物科技股份有限公司秉承 “自然予我,健康予你” 的使命,将环保理念贯穿于整个产业链。该公司已获得多项国家级荣誉,包括“国家循环经济标准化示范单位”、“国家环境友好企业”和“国家首批绿色工厂”,这些荣誉充分体现了其对可持续发展的坚定承诺。

开创循环经济模式

御馨生物已建立起完善的循环经济体系,通过涵盖原材料、副产品、水、能源和废气物的五个闭环回收系统,实现96%的资源利用率。凭借先进设备和自主研发能力,公司充分挖掘大豆价值,生产出种类繁多的大豆蛋白衍生物及相关产品。

其创新的生物质与污泥联合发电项目实现了清洁能源自给自足,显著降低了对化石燃料的依赖和废物排放。通过废热回收和生物天然气发电等举措, 御馨生物每年节水120万吨,节省标准煤当量4万吨以上,同时减少污染物排放数万吨。这些努力不仅符合严格的国际环境标准,还带来了可观的经济回报。

在整个价值链中融入可持续性

御馨生物通过将大豆膳食纤维等副产品转化为有价值的健康食品原料,将循环经济原则应用于产品创新,以满足全球市场需求。对其核心产品——大豆分离蛋白——进行生命周期评估(LCA),确保环境性能的持续改进。

该公司通过与北大荒集团合作建立认证的非转基因和有机大豆种植基地,推广可持续农业实践。在下游环节,该公司支持低碳物流解决方案,构建从农场到消费者的闭环绿色供应链。 

将可持续发展嵌入企业战略,御馨生物致力于提供安全、健康、环保的大豆解决方案,同时为构建更具韧性和可持续性的全球食品行业做出贡献。 

通过ProTerra认证加强可持续采购

御馨生物认为,ProTerra认证是将其环境、社会和治理(ESG)承诺转化为可验证的运营标准的关键一步。该认证要求建立强大的追溯系统,这将使御馨生物能够追踪原材料从农场到工厂的整个流程,并证明其可持续性主张。

通过强化内部可持续采购流程并使其与利益相关者对透明度的日益增长的期望相一致,ProTerra认证有助于增强对御馨生物品牌的信任。采用ProTerra等国际认可的标准,也有助于推动整个行业向更可持续的农业实践转型,并开拓新的市场机遇。
