Green Label Coalition's Life Cycle Assessment!

Green Label Coalition - Life Cycle Assessment - Greenly

ITV - About Green Label Coalition (GLC) Corporation 🔍

GLC collaborates with price label companies to optimize the printing process, ensuring labels are efficiently organized. Leveraging Aisle iQ Realogram data, GLC minimizes paper waste by only printing labels when necessary, contributing to sustainability.

Greenly provided us with a real science approach, unraveling the complexities of sustainability in our industry. Their dedication to transparent research allowed us to make informed decisions about our environmental impact.

ITV - What motivated you to do an initial Life Cycle Analysis? Why did you choose Greenly? 🤔

The study sought to comprehensively evaluate the environmental impact of two primary labeling systems: traditional paper price labels and the electronic shelf labels (ESLs). Specifically, it aimed to scrutinize each stage of their life cycles, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

Driven by a pervasive industry narrative emphasizing sustainability through waste prevention, GLC embarked on the study to validate these claims. The increasing adoption of ESLs was seen as a potential solution to mitigate the environmental impact associated with frequent paper label changes. 

What did you think of Greenly's support? 📊

Greenly's credibility and extensive collaboration with paper label-related companies made them the natural choice for this study. Their holistic approach and expertise in comparing the production processes and life cycles of paper labels and ESLs were instrumental in steering the research.

GLC particularly appreciated Greenly's commitment to conducting thorough research. Greenly organized a comprehensive study that delved into the intricacies of paper label production, including factors such as printer efficiency and the environmental implications of wireless router usage.

What were the Scopes & Boundaries of the Study? 🌱

The study's scope spanned the entire life cycle of both labeling systems, encompassing aspects from tree growth and carbon removal during paper production to the disposal processes of both paper labels and ESLs. A global perspective was adopted, acknowledging the international reach of the grocery industry and its significant carbon footprint.

Data collection drew from a combination of primary and proprietary sources. Paper label companies provided valuable insights into chemical composition, characteristics, and annual price change data, ensuring a robust foundation for comprehensive analysis.

The study revealed a nuanced picture from a 30,000-foot perspective, demonstrating that the global production and transportation processes associated with ESLs resulted in a higher carbon footprint compared to the localized production of paper labels. Contrary to longstanding claims, ESLs were found to have a larger environmental impact.

The study's findings underscored the environmental benefits of paper labels over ESLs. GLC recommends a conscious evaluation of these findings within the retail sector, emphasizing the importance of adopting truly sustainable practices in labeling and display technologies.

Motivated by the study, GLC is committed to disseminating honest information within the retail industry. The goal is to foster a more transparent understanding of what genuinely constitutes eco-friendly practices, influencing decision-making across the sector.

The study has ignited a critical conversation about sustainability within the retail sector. It serves as a catalyst for reevaluating industry practices and committing to genuine environmental conservation efforts.

As of now, further implications and actions are under consideration. The study has opened the door to a more conscientious approach to sustainability in our operations.

"Born of our DNA and a strong demand from our customers, the Life Cycle Assessment carried out with Greenly on our standard and recycled Kimya PETG filaments makes it possible to transparently inform users about the environmental impact of the materials they use, in order to encourage them to choose more environmentally-friendly alternatives" - Benoît Stoeux - Kimya CEO

Kimya - Life Cycle Assessment - Greenly

A pioneer in additive manufacturing, Kimya, an Armor Group company, designs and produces 3D printing materials for local production. Kimya produces ready-to-use filaments and develops high quality, custom 3D printing materials. Since 2017, Kimya has forged strategic partnerships with leading 3D printer manufacturers (Stratasys, Raise 3D, miniFactory, Ultimaker and AON3D) aiming to get Kimya filaments standard in their machines and making the printing process easier for users. With several dozen employees, Kimya has a 2,000m2 production facility in France.

Marketing & Communication Manager at Kimya

Thanks to his expertise in marketing strategy and his interest in sustainable development initiatives, he has taken innovative action to measure the carbon footprint of Kimya products. His commitment to environmental awareness enables him promote the business as a group committed to sustainable development.

To answer your question, we have to go back in time a bit and recall that Kimya was originally created to bring innovative materials to the 3D printing industry with the aim of developing more responsible production. That is why in 2018, we decided to participate in the Orplast project, initiated by the ADEME, which aims to meet national plastic recycling goals. The goal is to increase annual consumption of MPR (recycled raw materials) plastic by 250,000 tonnes. In this context, we have been creating and producing 3D filaments from recycled materials. We now have 5 products in the Remake By Kimya line. 

With this LCA we wanted to go beyond marketing and collect quantifiable data on the environmental impact of our recycled filaments compared to our standard ones. We opted for Greenly because you offered a great experience that was accessible in both technical terms and financially.

We had a positive experience working with expert support, and were empowered to fully understand our emissions, ask our questions, and progress together. The final LCA certificate was very helpful for us. We also appreciated the support provided for our marketing communications. The schedule was very clear with a sharp distinction between the technical phase and the various communication stages to avoid any mistakes that could be construed as greenwashing.

What was your experience with our software? What did you think?🌱

Firstly, we found the SaaS very easy to use, and we really liked the interface for viewing the results and data tables. It's important to remember, however, that this was a new experience for us, as it was our first LCA. We had to learn about many technical details without prior mastery in this area. We researched and learned a lot about the methodology.

I had no idea the percentage reduction in CO2 impact or weight in kilograms. I was just expecting to have more positive numbers by switching to recycled PETG. What’s interesting is that this brought us an awareness of all the components and logistics that go into the life of a product. This study has really increased our R&D team’s awareness. Since then, we have continued working on improvements by changing our packaging and trying to find new eco-friendly components.

Regarding the filaments, there weren’t any specific goals or changes implemented, although comparing our products showed significant differences: using a PETG-R recycled Kimya filament reduces emissions by 35% (in kg of CO2) compared to the Kimya PETG-S standard filament. Additionally, when we studied our flanges (which hold the 3D filaments), the results were even more significant. 

We compared three types of material (virgin plastic, recycled plastic, recycled PC and cardboard): the flange made of recycled polycarbonate gave us a 50% emissions reduction compared to non-recycled polycarbonate. Similarly, we also saw that the environmental impact was considerably reduced by switching to cardboard: an emissions' reduction of 65% during product manufacturing and 66% for its end-of-life. 

Regarding ongoing actions, we are working on changing the flange packaging as well as investigating the possibility of changing the flange. We have switched the packaging to a recycled kraft cardboard box. The ink is water-soluble. We need to investigate other components such as tape. The cardboard is already recycled. And then, there is the flange itself. 

Today, our flange is made of 95% recycled PC. We are still working on this, but we haven’t yet identified a good solution from a technical or economical perspective. However, the LCA has given us the necessary impetus to restart the discussion and switch to cardboard flanges in due course.

What would you say to a company hesitating to do an LCA? 👀

I would encourage them to do it since it is eye-opening for any business. And an LCA will also give you an edge with any customers who have an environmentally responsible purchasing policy. Finally, it facilitates a different approach to new product design. It is a winning investment which leads toward asking yourself the right questions!

Collectiv Food Carbon Footprint - Greenly

Senior Sustainability Manager at Collectiv Food

At Collectiv Food, we recognise that the first crucial step towards reducing harmful environmental impact lies in the data - the ability to measure what truly matters. That’s why, we’ve partnered with the experts at Greenly to support our first company-wide carbon assessment, representing our first major step towards our 2030 Net Zero goal. 

What can you tell us about your company? 🔍 

We’re a bunch of innovators, collaborators and fanatical foodies on a mission to build the food ecosystem of tomorrow, starting with an efficient and sustainable food supply chain serving the heart of our cities.

Why did you carry out a carbon assessment?

We cannot improve what we do not measure. That’s why the main purpose of the carbon assessment with Greenly was to establish our emissions baselines across Scopes 1-3 needed to support our Net Zero goal set for 2030.

Embracing sustainability at Collectiv Food means partnering with the best. That's why Greenly was our choice for measuring our company-wide carbon footprint for the first time. 

Their robust methodology, covering scope 1, 2, and 3 analysis, set the stage for effective action while Greenly's platform wowed us with its smart UI – supporting a smooth data collection process through to developing insights effortlessly. But it's not just about tech; they helped us engage our team, making sustainability a shared journey.

Collectiv Food’s carbon footprint takes into account direct and energy emissions (Scope 1 & 2) but also indirect emissions caused by service providers and services used by the company (Scope 3). Adding up all the emissions, Collectiv Food had a carbon footprint of 5987t CO2e in 2021. 

The annual emissions of 600 British people

The amount of CO2 sequestered annually by 540 hectares of forest

At Collectiv Food, our climate strategy stands strong on three pillars that drive our commitment:

1. Measure and reduce: We're all about numbers that matter. We're working to refine our annual carbon assessments to pinpoint exactly where we stand. Then, armed with these insights, we're diving into creating a carbon reduction plan with clear-cut targets. Our aim? Achieving Net Zero by 2030.

2. Engage and Connect: Sustainability isn't a solo act. We're reaching out, building bridges, and fostering connections within our ecosystem. Communication is our catalyst for change.

3. Offsetting with Certified Impact: As part of our forward plan, once we've maximized our reduction efforts, we're diving into certified GHG offsetting and sequestration projects. These aren't just offsets; they're verified, impactful changes that resonate with our commitment to Net Zero.

Our immediate steps are charged with purpose, geared towards making opaque, emissive food supply chains a thing of the past. Together, we’re shaping the food ecosystem of tomorrow.

Platform.sh’s carbon footprint (without our client’s cloud contribution)

Platform.sh’s clients’ Cloud audit : 1227 tCO2e/year

Using Platform.sh’ 2020 data, Greenly performed a density study to see how efficiently Platform.sh uses CPUs in the cloud compared to a standard deployment (AWS Elastic Cloud 2).

Platform.sh density was on average 12x more dense for their offering with the highest mutualization possible (grid) – -this means 12x less electricity was used to run an equivalent workload. More specifically, the breakdown was:

And 5x more dense for clients that requested low mutualization of resources (dedicated). 

This reduction in resource use, means less electricity is used by the datacenter, and ultimately lower CO2 emissions. On average for the globe, this translated into a 9x lower CO2 emission factor compared to the “bare mental scenario” due to Platform.sh superior density offer for their highly mutualized approach and 6x lower emissions for the less mutualized approach.

Regarding the environment, more specifically, we are all aware that it is not a question of choice or beliefs, but that it is really the biggest challenge of our time, and that obviously the first step is to understand our own environmental impact, to better assess and improve it.</p><p><strong>Why Greenly?</strong></p><p>When we decided to do our carbon assessment, we realized that there are two schools of thought today. On the one hand, there is the classic school of using a consultancy firm, and on the other hand, there is a start-up solution like Greenly. In this overview of these two solutions, we have realized that both have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of consultancies is that they are focused on support, offering a very detailed analysis, but they are also more expensive and time consuming<br>. &nbsp;A start-up, however, will stand out for its speed. What interested us for this first assessment was to have a fairly quick overview of our impact, so that we could start acting quickly.</p><p>‍</p><h2>Update on PayFit's carbon footprint 📊</h2><p>Our first assessment gave us a quick overview of our emissions, which allowed us to distinguish PayFit's main emission items. We realised the importance of Scope 3, although it is not currently mandatory to assess it. However, at PayFit, it is the most important emission item. Since we offer SaaS, we also noticed that the second most important emissions item was Digital. We were surprised by the low percentage of emissions that travel occupied, even if this result is linked to the context of the year 2020, which has strongly contributed to reducing the use of transport. We will therefore pay attention to this in the years to come. Finally, our third emissions item concerned fixed assets.

I am quite convinced that it is not just me, as the CSR manager, who can implement reduction actions on my own. You have to involve all the stakeholders in the company. The objective is to reconcile the response to climate and environmental issues with the growth of our company. To do this, we must already have a better understanding of our uses, such as in terms of actions for the use of our servers and our online advertising, but also in terms of thinking about how to have a more responsible purchasing policy</p><div class="container_img"><img src="" loading="lazy" /></div><h2></h2>

By aligning these to the real needs by working with them we can help them to reduce their own impact as well.</p><p>‍</p><div class="container_img"><img src="https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6232f79b68d15d3d9b69c096/6238ba9e7d77e16cb7e2f13d_61faaa7a68e37850c2563eff_42028_cuxhaven2-(1)-1.jpg" loading="lazy" /></div><h2></h2>
