Building a Better Future with Chickpea Protein: CP70’s Sustainability Story
As the plant-based sector evolves, brands face pressure to prove that “better for you” also means “better for the planet.” Atura’s Chickpea Protein 70% (CP70) delivers on both fronts – offering a sustainability story grounded in regenerative agriculture, responsible sourcing, and verified production standards.
- Naturally regenerative
Chickpeas are one of the most resource-efficient crops on Earth. As part of the legume family, they naturally fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers and enriching soil health for future crops. This makes them an ideal rotation crop, supporting biodiversity, improving water retention, and helping farmers maintain productive, resilient farmland year after year.
- Locally sourced and low impact
ATURA sources chickpeas to reduce food miles and support regional agricultural communities. Chickpeas thrive in dry conditions and require significantly less irrigation than soy or pea, meaning CP70 has a naturally low water footprint and reduced environmental impact. Together, this makes for a more climate-resilient, lower-carbon supply chain.
- Responsible and transparent supply chains
Every batch of CP70 is fully traceable from field to final ingredient. Atura works closely with trusted partners to maintain transparent and ethical supply chains that align with its sustainability commitments. Continuous supplier audits and ongoing collaboration ensure environmental integrity and consistent ingredient quality across all production stages.
- Certified production with global standards
Sustainability at Atura extends beyond sourcing – it’s built into the production process. CP70 is manufactured in facilities that are FSSC and SEDEX certified. We undergo regular Halal, Kosher, and organic audits, ensuring compliance with international food-safety and ethical standards. This framework of certifications guarantees that every stage of production meets both environmental and cultural expectations, offering brands confidence and credibility in every application.
- Gentle, efficient processing
CP70 is produced using a gentle extraction process designed to minimise waste, conserve energy, and preserve the protein’s natural functionality. By avoiding harsh solvents and unnecessary refinement steps, Atura maintains a clean, low-impact process that aligns with the principles of clean-label innovation.
- A versatile path to net-positive innovation
Each product formulated with CP70 contributes to a more sustainable food system -replacing higher-impact proteins without compromise on performance. Whether used in dairy alternatives, snacks, or ready meals, CP70 helps brands meet their environmental goals while delivering the texture, nutrition, and taste today’s consumers expect.
