Unveiling the Climate Impact of Your Food Products
Klimato's Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculator is your indispensable tool for evaluating the climate impact of your food products through streamlined LCAs. Dive into the details of our solution, designed to simplify the task of assessing the carbon footprint of your offerings.
More than a number
Apart from discovering the carbon footprint of your products, they will be added to the Klimato database, making them available to thousands of chefs using Klimato for recipe creation. We'll also guide you in using the carbon footprint labels for communication and sales purposes to approach strategic sustainability marketing with a best practice approach.
Complete Assessment report
Included in the LCA is a complete assessment report which provides:
- Breakdowns of emissions per kg of product and selling unit
- Detailed overviews of LCA phases and their impact
- Insights into identified hotspots
What is an LCA?
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most accepted method among the scientific community to calculate the environmental impact of products, services and processes. With an LCA we can assesses the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emitted by a product during its life cycle stages. LCA allows to obtain the sum of the GHG emissions (output) arising from all the inputs (e.g., packaging material) that occur in each stage. The sum of these GHG emissions is often known as the Carbon Footprint.
How it's done
To ensure accurate assessments, we'll guide you through a detailed data collection process. We use a combination of collected inventory data and our own extensive database that contains country specific emissions factors of food products.
The process in 4 steps
- We provide a structured form to guide you through the data collection process.
- You collect and submit the data to Klimato.
- Klimato performs calculations, generates a comprehensive report, and offers an interpretation of the results.
- Your product's data is added to the Klimato database, making it available through the Klimato app.
