Green-Score: elikagaien ingurumen-inpaktua

Green-Score

Green-Score A-tik E-ra bitarteko ingurumen-puntuazioa da, eta elikagaien ingurumenean duten eragina erraz alderatzea ahalbidetzen du.

Oharra: Green-Score da Eco-Score-ren izen berria 2024. urtearen amaieratik.

Why an environmental score?

More and more consumers are concerned about the impact of their food not only on their health, but also on the health of our planet. Thanks to the Nutri-Score, it is now very easy to take into account the nutritional quality of products when purchasing, but it is very difficult if not impossible to compare their environmental footprint.

It is urgent to provide consumers with clear information about this environmental footprint, so that they can easily and quickly compare it for several products. Hau da Green-Score ingurumen-kalifikazioak ahalbidetzen duena.

Green-Score, elikadura jasangarriagorako tresna bat

Green-Score-k dieta jasangarriago baterantz joan nahi duten kontsumitzaileei laguntzen die, honako hau egitera bultzatuz:

  • Eat less meat but of better quality
  • Consume more organic products and products with quality labels
  • Favor local and seasonal products, with little packaging
  • Limit products containing problematic ingredients (endangered fish, unsustainable palm oil)

Zer da Green-Score?

Green-Score Nutri-Score-ren antzeko eredu batean diseinatuta dago: A-tik E-ra bitarteko kalifikazioa da, 15 ingurumen-inpaktu laburbiltzen dituena. Green-Score puntuazioa A (eragin oso baxua) eta E (eragin oso altua) arteko letrak dituen hosto formako logotipo koloretsu batekin gauzatzen da.

Green-Score (ekoscore)

Green-Score elikadura hobearen alde konprometitutako hainbat eragilek osatutako partzuergo batek babesten du.

Nola kalkulatzen da Green-Score?

The benchmark score: life cycle analysis (LCA) with data from the Agribalyse database

For each product category, a benchmark score is established using data from the Agribalyse environmental database designed by ADEME and INRAE. These data correspond to the life cycle analysis (LCA) of the products.

Life cycle assessment (LCA)

Life cycle analysis is a standardized assessment method for carrying out a multi-stage environmental assessment and multi-criteria:

  • 6 production steps: agriculture, processing, packaging, transportation, distribution and consumption
  • 14 environmental impact indicators: climate change/carbon footprint, ozone layer depletion, ionizing radiation, land, water, and energy use; pollution of air and marine and fresh water (particles, acidification, eutrophication); and depletion of resources.

Bonuses and penalties to refine the grading of each product

In order to take into account certain impacts on the environment which are not covered well by the life cycle analysis (such as biodiversity) and the specificities of each product within the same category, the score of reference is modulated with bonuses and penalties:

Mode of production

A bonus is awarded to products that have an official label, a label or a certification that guarantees environmental benefits (organic, fair trade, HVE, Label Rouge, Bleu Blanc Cœur, MSC/ASC).

Origin of ingredients

A bonus is awarded based on the origin of the ingredients. This bonus takes into account the impact on transportation and also the environmental policy of each producer's country.

Endangered species

A penalty is given to products that contain ingredients that have significant negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems, such as palm oil, the production of which is responsible for massive deforestation.

Ontziratzea

A penalty is calculated to take into account the circularity of packaging (use of recycled raw material and recyclability) and overpacking.

An increased need for transparency to better measure and reduce environmental impacts

Green-Score zehatz-mehatz kalkulatzeko, ontzian zehaztuta ez dagoen informazioa izan behar da (adibidez, osagai bakoitzaren jatorria eta ehuneko zehatza) edo gutxitan eskuragarri dagoen informazioa (adibidez, ontziko osagai guztien zerrenda, erabilitako plastiko mota zehatzekin).

Batez besteko balioak erabiltzen dira informazio hori oraindik eskuragarri ez dagoenean, baina orain guztioi dei egiten dizuegu informazio hau biltzen laguntzeko, oso erabilgarria izango baita Green-Score-rako, baina baita beste hainbat erabilerarako ere.



Nola ikusi elikagai produktuen Green-Score?

Scan products with the Open Food Facts app

Open Food Facts aplikazioak produktuen Green-Score azkar lortzeko aukera ematen dizu: egin behar duzun guztia haien barra-kodea eskaneatzea da. If you have already installed the Open Food Facts app, please update it to get the new version!

Green-Score Open Food Facts aplikazioan

Green-Score abiarazte-bazkideen aplikazioetan eskuragarri dago, edo laster egongo da. And Open Food Facts is a Wikipedia of foods that anyone can reuse freely and for free. OFF datu-basea erabiltzen duten 100 aplikazio baino gehiagok kalkulatutako Green-Score-a ere bistaratu ahal izango dute.

Konparatu produktuen Green-Score-a Open Food Facts guneko

Open Food Facts webguneak Frantzian saltzen diren 750.000 elikagai produktu baino gehiagoren Green-Score-a ikusteko eta alderatzeko aukera ematen die guztiei. Bilaketa bakoitzaren emaitzek nutrizio-kalitatea erakusten dute Nutri-Score-rekin, ultraprozesatutako elikagaiak NOVA-rekin eta ingurumen-inpaktua Green-Score-rekin. Green-Score kalkulu aplikagarri bat eskuragarri dagoenean, puntuazio berdea beste herrialde batzuetara zabalduko da.

Green-Score kalkuluaren xehetasuna


Nola bultzatu dezakeen Green-Score-k produktuen hobekuntza eta haien ingurumen-inpaktuak murriztea

Green-Score-k bi ekintza-palanka ditu:

  • Green-Score-ri esker, kontsumitzaileek aukera informatuagoa egin dezakete produktuen ingurumen-inpaktua aukeratzeko irizpide gisa kontuan hartuta.
  • Green-Score-k fabrikatzaileak animatzen ditu beren produktuak hobetzera, Green-Score puntuazio handiagoa lortzeko.

Fabrikatzaileek beren produktuen Green-Score hobetzea da azken helburua, kontsumitzaile guztiei mesede egingo baitie.

The energy rating of household appliances has thus profoundly transformed the market (try to find a fridge rated E, or even D or C!). And the democratization of Nutri-Score has also encouraged many manufacturers to improve the nutritional quality of their products to obtain a better rating (to the point that some French manufacturers even brag about it on bus stops, such as Brossard for its Savane cake).

To encourage product improvements, our platform for producers automatically analyzes data provided by manufacturers to identify avenues for improvement. The platform thus identifies all the products that would obtain a better Nutri-Score score with a slight change in composition (a reduction in salt of 5% for example).

Laster, plataformak inpaktu ekologikoa murrizteko eta Green-Score hobea lortzeko moduak iradokitzeko aukera emango du (adibidez, ontzietarako plastiko birziklagarriago bat erabiliz, edo palma-olioa beste olio batekin ordezkatuz).



Nola jakin dezakegu gehiago eta nola lagundu diezagukegu Green-Score garatzen?

Ongi etorriak dira guztiok gardentasun handiagoa sortzen, kontsumitzaileak hezten eta produktuen hobekuntza sustatzen laguntzera Green-Score-ren bidez.

Green-Score oraindik gaztea da eta hobetu daiteke, zalantzarik gabe. Given the climate and environmental emergency, however, it seems important to us to make it available now.

Elkarrekin lan eginez, pixkanaka Green-Score hobetu, bere formula findu eta kalkulatzeko beharrezkoak diren datuak bildu ahal izango ditugu.

Your feedback, observations and suggestions will therefore be very valuable.
