The Business of Alt Protein: LCA modeling tool for alternative proteins

Event description Life cycle analyses (LCAs) are crucial in evaluating products’ environmental impacts and for businesses to make substantiated, credible environmental claims. However, the absence of robust, standardized data in the alternative protein industry makes LCAs difficult and costly to commission. Join GFI and Foodsteps for a seminar introducing a new LCA modeling software that addresses this gap. A free version of the software allows companies to assess up to five products across five key impact categories: carbon emissions, water use, land use, acidification, and eutrophication — measuring their product’s ecological footprint from cradle (agricultural stage) to factory gate (end of manufacturing but pre-packaging). This software guides effective, sustainable decision-making in product design, production scale, and location while providing internal and external (via the premium version) sustainability reporting. This can be pivotal to enhance your market position and attract eco-conscious investors. In the webinar, you’ll learn about this new software through real-world use cases. You’ll also have a chance to have your ESG and LCA questions answered by experts. Ultimately, you’ll be more equipped to understand and make sound environmental claims about your alt protein products.
