Food Services

Food services industry comprises businesses or institutions that prepare and serve food and beverages to consumers. Recent research from University of Copenhagen (2024) informs us that consumers are increasingly interested to know about the environmental impact of the food products that they consume. Specifically, they are interested in reducing their footprints where possible, and are keen to use their purchasing power to improve social and environmental outcomes for all. At TrackCarbon, we focus on impact on both nature and climate impact by looking at four environmental stressors: land use, freshwater use, water weighted scarcity by use, and GHG emissions. 

Scoring + Labelling

TrackCarbon provides each food product with an environmental impact score from A-E. This scoring can be via a label on the packaging of the product or can be accessed via a QR Code.

As a partner of GS1 UK, and QR partner advisory group member, TrackCarbon understands the best practice guidelines for creating GS1 Digital Link QR codes.

Packaging

Easily track the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the packaging of your food products—whether it’s plastic, paper, glass, or compostable materials. Our platform helps you identify which packaging components contribute the most to your carbon footprint, giving you the data needed to make more sustainable choices. From primary packaging to shipping containers, get a clear view of your packaging emissions across the entire product lifecycle.

Transportation and Logistics

Our logistics model tracks the route of your product from farm (primary producer) to point of sale. We provide an impact score for each route which allows you to gain insights into the most environmentally friendly manufacturing sites, and distribution locations. Plus, identify your best performing suppliers.
