What parameters do you use for the calculation?

We estimate the CO2 emissions for a product based on the price of the product or an average size of the product and an average price per kilo for the product group. Therefore, products that are more expensive/smaller than the average for the product group may be overestimated in terms of CO2 emissions, while cheaper/larger products may be underestimated
The app is not working properly?

CO2Food is currently in its development stage, therefore some features of the app may not show up correctly. Thank you for your patience while we are working on it!
How do you calculate the CO2 emissions?

We have taken our starting point from the publication 'Food's Climate Footprint' shared by the Ministry of the Environment and Food and Foodemissions.com. We aim for the estimate to be as accurate as possible, but it will never be 100% accurate as there may be some information we cannot see about your item.
