Sustainability

ColdZyme's main ingredient, glycerol, is extracted from vegetable oils, a renewable raw material, ensuring an environmentally responsible choice. Another of the ingredients in ColdZyme is a by-product from the sea, which is reused in two stages in Enzymatica's operations.

This cod enzyme is extracted from what is left over when the fish is cleaned and which would otherwise have been thrown away. In 2023, Enzymatica in Iceland received a certificate that makes it possible to take recycling to the next level. The by-products that are left over after Enzymatica processes the cod raw material can now be sent for the production of cod oil at a local producer in Iceland. In this way, a by-product from the sea can be extracted in two stages and be used in two completely different production processes. 

Enzymatica's environmental work is part of the quality system and is described in the company's environmental policy. The goal is to constantly improve material use and reduce environmental and climate impact as far as possible, through ongoing efforts in our own operations and clear requirements for partners and suppliers. The final product ColdZyme complies with the current Packaging Directive (94/62/EC, 2018/852), which shows that the products'  packaging materials are recyclable.

Enzymatica continues to work to reduce packaging materials and other components in the product to meet upcoming new requirements. The contract manufacturer is certified according to ISO 14 001, which also applies to most of the company's sales channels, i.e. pharmacy and health food chains.
