LCA and Carbon Footprint of Olive Organic-Ecological Products OLEOHEALTH: Essential Tools to Improve the Best Olive

Processes and Develop New Olive-Based Products

1. A short Presentation of Company

Biosasun, S.A ( www.biosasun.eu ) is a SME located in the Basque Country-Álava and Navarra. Founded in 2001 by the interest of various professionals in the production of organic products. It has three principal activity areas:

Marketing, distribution and elaboration of ecological and functional products. Engineering, design and advice on sustainable solutions R&D projects

Allotarra Association of Ecological Agriculture and Livestock (https://ekodenda.allotarra.eu ) is made up of various farmers from Tierra Estella-Lizarraga (Navarra). Its main activities are the practice and promotion of agricultural, livestock, commercial and professional activities. After cultivating organic olive trees for more than 30 years and its objective is to make organic farming and its sustainable processes available to all, always respecting the environment and its resources.

The Strategy of Company is represented in this graphic:

Here you can see the Process map “from cradle to grave” and principal process of Company:

Extra virgin olive oil is 100% pure organic olive juice, of superior category obtained directly from olives and only by mechanical procedures. Always using agricultural techniques and in oil extraction processes, environmentally friendly techniques in organic agriculture.

The production of the oil comes from the olive varieties "Arbequina" and "Arróniz", collected in their optimum degree of maturity, clean, healthy and without apparent defects, at the beginning of November and December respectively, just in the phase in which the olives are

yellow, reddish or pink, without reaching their maximum state of maturation of black , to keep intact all the aromas and flavors and proceeding to their immediate grinding to their harvest, at low temperature.

The process of producing the oil that was subcontracted in a mill near the area, at the time of the study, consisted of: discharge of the olive, washing and removal of leaves, crushing, smoothing at low temperature, horizontal centrifuge, vertical spinning, storage in tank, decanting and packaging

2. LCA and Results

From January 2008 to December 2010 BIOSASUN was working in the European Project RECYWASTEOLHIVA: RECYcling and reusing of all WASTEs produced during OLive oil production in order to develop HIgh added VAlue products, leaded by Technological Centre L´Urederra, where the LCA tool developed and used allowed the calculation of the ECOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL impacts of the classic production of extra virgin olive oil. This tool is based in the use of an impact matrix to improve processes and make them more sustainable:

3. CF diagnosis and Results

In 2012 Biosasun calculated the carbon footprint by determining the total amount of CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) caused directly or indirectly, following the methodology proposed in PAS 2050:2011: GWP PROTOCOL (100 years):

Based on the established process map and the information collected, the value chain associated with oil production was determined by identifying the different inputs and outputs.

The following schema defines processes along the entire product value chain:

3 functional units were defined, one for each format in which the oil is marketed: 500 ml glass bottle, 2 l PET claw, 5 l PET claw, calculating the 3 carbon footprints.

The general limits of the study are described by value chain process by process:

In the Inventory (ICV) phase, Biosasun, S.A., had field notebooks and records. All the data, relating to the agricultural subbase and the plant where the oil is made, are primary data, recorded and controlled by the company where the oil was produced (with the exception of diesel consumption by tractors in the field, which have been obtained by formulating with actual data on hours of tractor use and power of the same).

It was not necessary to access databases to make estimates, so the reliability of the study is greater.

For emissions data (EICV), for the choice of emission factors, sources of trust and uniform were chosen. In this way, emission factor data were obtained from the following sources: Guidelines 2006 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change) and the Ecoinvent database.

The GHG emissions by stages of the product life cycle and their contribution in percentage to the total Carbon Footprint were:

From 2013 to 2018 BIOSASUN was developing different actions to reduce the ecologic, economic and social impacts:

a) Continuous improvement of the practices of the olive grove in organic farming: Plant cover maintenance on farms. Chopped grass and chopping pruning incorporation as organic amendment in the farms

themselves Keeping pruning in the ground for a while for protection of the olive tree itself against

plagues. Maintenance of wild vegetation areas (borders, banks, ...) Concentrate phytosanitary treatments so as to minimize atmosphere emissions and fuel

consumption during application. Use of Potassium Oleate manufactured with own oil residues Plant alfalfa and similar forage plants on farms with slopes to prevent erosion and fix

nitrogen Controlled use of Milling and / or Alperujo Waters to control weeds in young olive groves

b) Design and construction of sustainable facilities: Installation of our plant in an olive grove in the centre and closest point to the rest of

the olive groves to minimize journeys. Construction with recycled materials: marine containers and construction houses Use of recyclable metal and wood materials Minimization of the use of concrete in the Urbanization-facilities Supporting containers and booths on the perimeter on recycled tires filled with

concrete Collection of rainwater from the roofs for irrigation of the olive grove Adjustment of the dimensions of the different enclosures to what is necessarily essential

for the proper functioning of the processes

c) Savings and Energy Efficiency: Installation of solar panels for self-consumption of energy, without network connection Adaptation of a diesel electricity generator to work with propane. Installation of an automation system so that the generator starts operating when the

batteries that accumulate solar energy are empty and the demand of the processes requires energy.

Take advantage of the heat of the fumes generated by the energy generators for the drying of olive leaves and the pomace needed

d) Cleaner processes: Adjustment of the different machinery to the productive capacities Adaptation of the olive groves to be collected with a vibrating umbrella, avoiding

displacement for collection and collecting leaves for the use of polyphenols Zero waste water discharges: sanitary and cleaning waters are collected in a septic tank,

using these waters in the irrigation of compost and the olive grove, avoiding their discharge into a public channel

Composting the organic waste generated in the different processes to incorporate it as an organic amendment in the olive grove

Orientation to the local and nearby market, avoiding the impacts caused by transport Label, back label and cardboard box weight adjustments Elimination of the use of masquerades in each of the containers Change from a black bottle to a lower impact green bottle

e) Development of R&D projects to obtain clean processes and high added value products

related to the world of health, taking advantage of waste Desarrollo de procesos limpios para la obtención de Polifenoles de Olivo, aprovechando

residuos Development of various products based on olive polyphenols, within the project

RECYWASTEOLHIVA: o A “Non toxic Pediculicide” in a first step and other cosmetic product based in an

“oleo-therapeutic Alperujo-oil (Oil from olive wastes)” obtained from alperujo using high temperature to get it

o Functional juice and capsules with antihypertensive activity extracted from the olive leaves

o Anti-aging creams to regenerate skin o Olive oil with high polyphenols with EFSA “Claim” o Olive pâté and/or jam obtained from olive pulp wastes after alperujo-oil

production, where fat content is much lower than in conventional olive pâtés and including functional action (Antihypertensive and/or Laxative)

Developed products based on olive polyphenols, within the project BINAFIE: o Liquid soaps for hair protection and regeneration o Organic potassium soap for protection of silvers against insects

Developing products based on olive polyphenols, within the project OLIVOGEN: o Culture media for DNA protection of sperm o Pre-probiotics for improving male fertility

Developing products based on olive polyphenols, within the project DERMANANO: o Sunscreen creams o Burn protection creams

Developing products based on olive polyphenols, within the project SUPREM: o Pre-probiotics for circulatory improvement in order to avoid the development

of atherosclerosis Developing products and processes based on olive polyphenols, within the project

BIOFOOD: o New probiotic production processes based on whey and honey solutions o Probiotics based on bacterial strains of sheep "latxas" and olive polyphenols o ….

During 2019 ALLOTARRA and BIOSASUN made a new evaluation of impacts calculating the CO2 Emission and Economic Balance and the resume of results we can see in this tables:

c. Conclusions:

And the principal conclusions of New Action Plan and developed work are:

Regarding CO2 emissions of the different processes:

o Emissions from the manufacture of glass containers are relatively high, compared

to the set of olive production operations, so it is highly recommended to replace this type of bottle with PET containers or others with less impact.

o Emission reduction in the whole olive growing processes is due to the integration of the processes and the recovery of all by-products under the concept of circular economy. This can represent a significant reduction in emissions of more than 50% globally.

o Taking into account the absorption of CO2 by olive trees themselves (570 Kg CO2 per centennial olive tree and year) lead us to persist in the objective of protecting and promoting ecological cultivation of Arroniz variety in our environment. It manages a net absorption of more than 80 Kg of CO2 per Kg of product put on the market.

Regarding production costs of the processes in olive circular economy:

o High profitability of the production of olive polyphenol concentrates must be transferred to boost this organic production sector, influencing these aspects:

o Promote entry into the Cosmetic and Food Ingredients markets, achieving a gradual and logical growth, since otherwise, the use of the remains of pruning, milling, ..., would hardly allow maintaining a reduced profitability of the set of activities: Agricultural and industrial of transformation.

o Maintain prices similar to those we have outlined, that do not plummet, when this type of application becomes widespread.

o Limited profitability of the production and sale of Extra Virgin Olive Oils. Organic market prices, maintains the activity thanks to the CAP.

o Viability of promoting both activities, which are essential to be carried out together to reduce emissions and costs to levels that allow high profitability, greater than 30. This should allow for the expansion of this type of crops and the maintenance of their ecosystems in Navarra.

EFSA: “the polyphenols in olive oil contribute to the protection of blood lipids against oxidative damage”

Principal products of BIOSASUN Circular Production:

Different olive oils:

First olive oil in the world with the EFSA claim. This claim can only be used in compliance with the general conditions of Regulation 1924/2006, the text of which restricts the use of the claim to olive oil containing a minimum of 5 mg hydroxythyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. an oleuropein or tyroleol complex) per 20 g of olive oil. In order for a product to carry this declaration, the consumer will be informed that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil. The EFSA Panel, which assessed the effects of these polyphenols, concluded that "a cause-and-effect relationship has been established between the consumption of polyphenols of olive oil (standardized by the content of hydroxythyrosol and its derivatives) and the protection of LDL particles against oxidative damage", which may reduce Atherogenesis.

OLEHEALTH Ateroactive Range, Organic Products

Formulated with selected antioxidants, to alleviate the signs and symptoms of Venous insufficiency and peripheral arteriopathy.

The products of the Ateroactive range are formulated specifically to alleviate problems caused by chronic venous insufficiency and peripheral arteriopathy.

Venous insufficiency is a common disease caused by valvular dysfunction with or without associated obstruction, usually in the lower limbs.

Peripheral Microangiopathy is one of the complications that diabetics present. It is an organism alteration of the capillaries, arterioles and venules.

Barcelona University Studies have been conducted in both pathologies of treatment, observing positive results in the 60 patients assessed (30 of venous insufficiency and 30 of peripheral arteriopathy).

More specifically, in the study of diabetic patients with venous insufficiency, the following results were obtained:

73% of patients experience an improvement in their quality of life.

46% show reduced pain from the first visit, staying stable until the end of the treatment.

37% had fatigue at the beginning, observing an improvement of up to 64% of patients.

59% showed clumsiness at the beginning, with an improvement in 50% of patients.

50% were itchy at the beginning, with an improvement in 79% of patients.

41% had cramps at the beginning, with an improvement in 62% of patients.

63% had edema at the beginning, with an improvement in 37% of patients.

It is observed an improvement in the corneal layer hydration in 63% of the patients included.

For its part, in the study of diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease:

It is observed improvement in the corneal layer hydration in 56% of the patients.

Improvement in skin elasticity has been reported in 33% of patients.

64% of patients with resting pain experience a decrease in the second follow-up visit and is maintained until the end of follow-up.

79% of patients experience a significant improvement in quality of life since the first follow-up visit.

88% of patients experience significant improvement in ankle-brachial index.

65% of patients say they can walk longer distances (improves claudication) than at the beginning of the study.

OLEHEATH Sensitive product Range

Bioactive natural compounds, with great antioxidant capacity, based on

Polyphenols of organic olives.

Sensitive emulsion

Dermo-cosmetic rich in polyphenols of organic olives and Aloe Vera.
