Upcycled Hour: Measure Your Impact With Product Life-Cycle Assessment

Upcycled Hour: Measure Your Impact With Product Life-Cycle Assessment  

Join Upcycled Food Association and Planet FWD for a deep dive and discussion on how a product life-cycle assessment (LCA) can empower you to make informed, sustainable decisions, measure and reduce your footprint, and support a climate-positive food system. Planet FWD, a leading decarbonization platform for the food industry, will present on their LCA services which identify environmental impacts and opportunities at every stage of your product's life. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of the LCA process, data needed to get started, and the expected outcomes. 

You'll learn how:

• LCAs measure the carbon footprint of your products - all the way down to the farm level.

• To use LCAs as a tool to find and reduce emissions hotspots in your products.

• To use LCAs as an R&D and Brand Marketing tool to design lower emissions products and credibly communicate your impact with consumers.

• Upcycled Certified participants are using the results of their LCAs to tell a more holistic story to consumers, retailers, and investors.

Companies who participate in Upcycled Certified® are eligible for a discount on Planet FWD’s LCA services. Join this event to learn more about how to elevate your impact while growing your upcycled food business!
