This award is in recognition of Kori Krill Oil’s dedication and efforts to ensure the sustainability and long-term viability of the Antarctic krill population for the benefit of present and future generations, as well as for its eco-friendly operations.
Krill are tiny shrimp-like crustaceans thriving abundantly in the icy, pristine waters of Antarctica. They are harvested for their oil, a rich source of omega-3 phospholipids, an unsaturated fatty acid recognized for its many health benefits. [See Full Press Release.]
The Global Krill Oil Market
“The global krill oil market was valued at USD 235.8 million in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.4%, reaching USD 474.0 million by 2028. It is driven by increasing health concerns and the aging population,” reports Polaris Market Research.
A Definitive Commitment to Sustainability
The Antarctica-based krill fishery that is qualified to be the exclusive supplier of Kori Krill Oil is notable for managed harvesting levels and is recognized globally as an industry leader in sustainability—it is the only fishery to earn an “A” rating for seven consecutive years from the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership.
Eco-Friendly Harvesting
Kori Krill Oil’s fishery’s “eco-harvesting technology” includes a continuously submerged mid-water vacuum that draws in only the krill, as the vacuum is guarded by a fine mesh net that prevents anything larger than krill from entering. Bycatch is negligible.
Managing Krill Harvesting Levels
To ensure the long-term viability of the Antarctic krill population, Kori Krill Oil and its sustainability partnerships impose strict limits on how much is harvested. In total, less than 1% of the Antarctic krill biomass is harvested annually, well below the 10% level set by the UN. Independent observers on the harvesting vessels in Antarctica and voluntarily imposed buffer zones help enforce the limits.
Vertical Integration and Sustainable Packaging
Kori Krill Oil is the only vertically integrated krill oil brand responsible for every stage of the route from nature to market. Consistent with the spirit of eco-friendly sustainability and environmental responsibility, all Kori Krill Oil boxes, bottles, caps, and labels are 100% recyclable.
Kori Krill Oil can be ordered online at the company’s website and at Target, CVS, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Kroger, H-E-B, VitaCost, Swanson, and Amazon. [See Full Press Release.]
