Problem
The food industry lacks transparency regarding the environmental impact of its products, making it difficult for farmers, food brands, and restaurants to make informed decisions and communicate sustainability efforts to consumers. Existing methods for assessing environmental impact are often complex, costly, and not easily translated into actionable insights.
Solution
REACH EAT provides a platform for measuring and communicating the environmental impact of food products across the entire supply chain. Through life cycle assessments (LCA) adhering to ISO 14040/14044 standards, the GHG Protocol Product Standard, and PAS 2050, REACH EAT calculates the carbon footprint of products, considering ingredients, transportation, processing, and packaging. The platform identifies supply chain weak points and translates complex calculations into user-friendly climate labels, enabling businesses to optimize practices for sustainability and communicate their environmental performance to consumers. REACH EAT offers tailored solutions for farmers, food brands, and restaurants, providing data-driven insights to reduce environmental footprints and attract environmentally conscious customers.
