Uses plant and cricket protein

Näak says it uses only plant-based and cricket-based protein because they use fewer natural resources and are less polluting. It states that plant-based proteins produce 11x times less greenhouse gases than meat protein, and that cricket farming requires 13x less land and 2,000x less water than livestock farming.

Uses upcycled ingredients

Näak says it is using upcycled certified maple and barley rice in its products. It says upcycling minimises waste being sent to landfill and reduces the need for production using new raw material, which means a reduction in air pollution, water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
