Where can the cold chain reduce food loss? Measure first

A global loss figure is not a business performance measure. Log product, stage, cause and weight to find where your own process can improve.

Reusable crate or carton? Build a carbon comparison for your operation

One life-cycle result does not describe every route. Define your comparison using your own fill, rotations, losses and washing data.

How to measure wash water per reusable container

Divide meter water by accepted clean containers. Count prewash, rinsing and cycles within the same boundary to compare periods.

How a Zero Waste-certified business can review packaging

Do not treat a certificate as proof of packaging reduction. Check its scope and measure single-use volumes and reuse pilots separately.

Which data to use for dry ice in carbon accounting

Do not assume one emissions factor for dry ice. Record consumed quantity, supplier-data boundary and the reporting method together.

How to define boundaries for logistics impact data

Logistics indicators cannot be compared when period, activity boundary and denominator differ.

EU export rules: first check which requirements apply

Not every EU environmental rule covers every product or Turkish supplier. Verify market, product, packaging, company role and application date separately.

Assess the carbon impact of food waste with your own records

The footprint of wasted food varies by product. Weigh losses, record the cause, and use a sourced factor before estimating emissions.

What does the 11% EPS/XPS figure on Baltic beaches measure?

HELCOM's 11% is the item-count share of EPS/XPS at six beaches. Weight was not reported for that survey.

How to compare reusable and single-use containers

Use the same functional unit and system boundary in an LCA; source washing, returns, loss and end-of-life data from your own operation.

How to substantiate an environmental claim

Replace broad language with a measurable scope. Show comparison basis, period, data source and limits alongside the claim.

How to write a measurable environmental clause

Ask for a unit, data source, delivery timing and verification method instead of a generic green claim, so offers can be compared consistently.

How to calculate packaging data for a carbon report

Material mass alone is not an emissions result. Define the period and boundary, then pair activity data with a sourced emissions factor.

Carbon accounting in transport: which method when a customer asks

When a customer asks for a carbon figure per trip, the method is ISO 14083; the GLEC Framework is its practical guide for logistics.

Recyclable and actually recycled are not the same

Packaging that is technically recyclable may not be accepted by local collection. Ask your waste provider three specific questions and record the answers.
