Trace One and Carbon Maps partner to automate product carbon footprints for food and beverage

Trace One and Carbon Maps have announced a partnership that lets food manufacturers and retailers calculate product carbon footprints and life cycle assessments directly from existing PLM data. The integration connects recipe, ingredient, and packaging information to Carbon Maps without requiring teams to re-enter data, so environmental impact can be assessed early in product development. The offering supports supplier and sourcing analysis, plus France's voluntary Coût Environnemental labeling using the government's Ecobalyse methodology. Carbon Maps says it has calculated more than two million product and packaging LCAs and maintains over 34,000 emission factors. For food companies facing retailer requests for product-level environmental data, this removes a manual bottleneck and keeps the audit trail intact.
