Carbon Labelling Explained

Carbon labelling is also known as carbon footprint labelling. It's when you add details to a product's label that displays its carbon footprint.Carbon labelling involves measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product’s life cycle. Then applying that measurement to the product’s packaging or label. The product life cycle includes the production, packaging and distribution.  Carbon labelling encourages consumers to choose products with lower environmental impact.

Recipe Integration 

Built directly into the Kafoodle recipe database, users have to tick the ‘calculate carbon footprint’ options once creating a recipe to calculate the carbon score. 

Users can view a recipe’s carbon rating from the recipe home screen or the Carbon Footprint Datasheet for a more detailed overview of an account’s recipe’s performance that can be exported and further analysed. 

Labelling Integration 

Quickly add a recipe’s carbon footprint score to food labels by selecting the option inside the label template builder or download the carbon rating label as a PNG file for external use, such as marketing activities.
