Unlocking Sustainability: The Power of Product Life Cycle Assessments

Unlocking Sustainability: The Power of Product Life Cycle Assessments

From farming and wild capture of raw ingredients to the consumed product, including end of the package and any non-consumed food product, frozen food has an impact—one that can be quantified, strategized, and modified. Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) measure products' environmental impacts so companies can understand points of risk, spaces for improvement, and how to leverage verifiable sustainability attributes to drive sales.

In our upcoming webinar, industry experts from Foresight will unpack the process, implications, and benefits of product LCAs. You'll learn about compiling datasets from suppliers, improving process design choices, verifying your sustainability attributes, and connecting these insights with your customers.
