Low carbon food recipes for Unilever in Sweden

Global food service giant, Unilever, has worked with our sustainability specialists in Sweden to develop a learning programme for schools focused on climate smart school meals with food recipes and a website to inform about food with a low carbon impact. The model calculates the carbon impact of a number of Unilever's products, sauces and bouillons and compares them against the impacts of making the 'sauce' using basic ingredients. The work is helping Unilever focus on low carbon impact recipes.

Eco-friendly product design tool

We design an online tool to assist eco-friendly product design and compliance with the Energy Using Products Directive (EuP). Our tool, EcoFly, calculates the energy use, carbon emitted, waste generation and water consumption over the whole life of the product.   Applying EcoFly through the design of a product provides the dossier of evidence - and also provides the final evidence of compliance to EuP standards.  Find out more at www.ecoflyonline.com
