Problem
Food producers lack accessible tools to thoroughly assess the environmental impact of their products across the entire lifecycle, from raw material sourcing to end-of-life disposal. This makes it difficult to identify specific areas for improvement and implement effective eco-design strategies.
Solution
Karbon provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that simplifies Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for food products, enabling businesses to quantify their environmental footprint across 16 impact categories. The platform uses reliable environmental data from sources like ADEME to analyze the complete product lifecycle, including raw materials, production, distribution, and waste. Karbon's intuitive interface allows non-specialists to easily understand results and share insights with stakeholders. The software helps organizations identify key areas for improvement, test the impact of changes to ingredients or packaging, and communicate transparently about their environmental performance.
Target Audience
Karbon targets food producers, restaurants, and retailers seeking to understand, reduce, and communicate the environmental impact of their products.
