Sustainability in Poultry Protein Supply
Our Role in Sustainable Protein Supply
Tuva Euro BV is a specialised supplier company active in poultry meal and poultry-derived feed ingredients. We do not operate production facilities. Instead, our responsibility lies in how products are sourced, controlled, documented and delivered to the market.
Sustainability in animal protein trading is not defined solely by ownership of factories, but by responsible value-chain management. At Tuva Euro BV, we actively manage origin selection, regulatory compliance, traceability and logistics efficiency to ensure that the products we trade meet both commercial and sustainability expectations of our customers.
Circular Economy & By-Product Valorisation
Poultry meal is inherently part of the circular bio-economy. It is produced through the controlled rendering of Category 3 animal by-products that are not intended for human consumption.
By revalorising these by-products into high-quality animal feed ingredients, poultry meal:
- Reduces food-chain waste
- Minimises the need for landfill or incineration
- Preserves valuable nutrients within the feed system
- Supports efficient resource utilisation
As a trader, Tuva Euro BV contributes to circularity by ensuring that these materials are channelled into safe, compliant and transparent feed applications.
Responsible Sourcing & Approved Plants
We work with EU-approved rendering plants operating under applicable animal by-product and feed hygiene regulations. Our supplier portfolio includes both single-species poultry plants and multi-species rendering facilities with controlled and segregated processing lines.
Our sourcing principles include:
- Category 3 raw materials only
- Clearly defined species profiles per product
- Poultry-only products as well as approved mixed-species formulations
- Ruminant-free products where specified and contractually agreed
- Plants holding official EU approval numbers
Product characteristics such as species composition, segregation level and ruminant status are defined per product and per origin, not assumed as a blanket specification across the portfolio. This ensures transparency and accurate product positioning for each application.
We do not trade anonymous-origin products. Each poultry meal or blended animal protein we offer can be traced back to a defined production site operating under recognised regulatory standards.
Traceability & Documentation Control
Traceability is a cornerstone of sustainable trading. Tuva Euro BV manages documentation and product data at lot level, ensuring transparency throughout the supply chain.
Each shipment is supported by a complete documentation package, including:
- Technical Data Sheets (TDS)
- Certificates of Analysis (COA)
- Production dates and shelf-life information
- Veterinary and regulatory certificates where applicable
This structured documentation approach enables our customers to integrate our products smoothly into their own quality systems and audit processes.
Regulatory Compliance & Feed Safety
Long-term sustainability in animal protein trading depends on strict regulatory compliance and feed safety assurance.
Tuva Euro BV trades products that comply with, among others:
- Regulation (EC) No 183/2005 (Feed Hygiene)
- Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and (EU) No 142/2011 (Animal By-Products)
- Applicable national and EU feed safety requirements
Where relevant, we cooperate with suppliers operating under GMP+ or equivalent quality schemes. Compliance is not treated as a formality, but as a prerequisite for sustainable market access.
Logistics Efficiency & Carbon Awareness
As a trading company, we actively optimise logistics flows to reduce unnecessary environmental impact.
Our approach includes:
- Preference for EU-based sourcing where feasible
- Full truck and container load optimisation
- Avoidance of unnecessary trans-shipments
- Matching origin and destination to minimise transport distance per tonne
Efficient logistics not only reduce emissions but also improve product stability, reliability and cost efficiency.
Continuous Improvement & Partner Oversight
Sustainability is an ongoing process. Tuva Euro BV continuously evaluates its supplier base and trading practices to align with evolving customer expectations, regulatory developments and market standards.
We engage with our partners on topics such as:
- Process transparency
- Quality consistency
- Species control and segregation
- Continuous compliance improvement
By maintaining a selective and controlled sourcing strategy, we aim to remain a reliable and responsible partner in the poultry protein supply chain.
Our Commitment
Tuva Euro BV is committed to practical, verifiable sustainability. Rather than generic statements, we focus on traceability, compliance, circularity and operational responsibility — ensuring that the poultry proteins we trade today remain viable, accepted and trusted in the future.
