10 May 2022 --- Frozen food company Nomad Foods is urging F&B regulators across Europe to develop a comprehensive end-to-end approach to the life cycle of products. This should include data in Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) that is currently not used – such as consumer food waste and primary data for all processing steps.A peer reviewed study by PRé Sustainability, commissioned by Nomad Foods, showed that retail and consumer food waste – data that is normally not included in LCA assessments – has a “significant effect on products’ overall environmental impact, equating to an estimated 160 million metric tons of CO2 in Europe,” according to the study.
