Carbon counting for menus

Food service technology company, Nutritics, has launched an automated system for estimating carbon emissions and water use in the hospitality and food service sector. Foodprint is a patentpending carbon footprint analysis, management and reporting solution that gives food businesses transparency on the environmental impact of all the foods and products they serve. The technology provides food businesses with insights through which they can better understand their carbon impacts and how they are trending over time, as well as showing quickly how proposed changes can affect the environmental impacts.

Add-on carbon costs

The technology can also be used to add a carbon footprint score to packaging, dishes and promotional materials used, and communicate this with customers and clients. The goal is to facilitate the design of circular menus, and optimise menus to be better tailored towards consumer preferences, and to include low environmental impact options. The technology used matches foods to peer-reviewed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data sources and calculates the environmental impact of recipes, with a specific focus on the country of origin and national food supply chains. •
