Product Carbon Footprint drinks, prepared food and plant and animals products

The file was compiled from seven sources: AGRIBALYSE Produits Alimentaires (AGRIBALYSE, 2025): A French dataset providing 2,518 records of LCA-based data on agricultural and food products, covering production, processing, packaging, and distribution, with detailed insights into carbon emissions and broader environmental impacts. Carbon Catalogue Public Database (Meinrenken et al., 2022): Sourced from Scientific Data, this global dataset contains carbon footprint data for commercial products across eight industries and five continents, contributing 99 records. It spans products from countries including Australia, Belgium, China, France, and the USA, offering extensive geographic coverage. Carbon Label Product Information (Ministry of Environment, 2024): Obtained from Taiwan's Carbon Footprint Information Platform, this dataset contributes 288 records of certified PCF data under the National Carbon Labeling System, which incentivizes emission reductions through government procurement preferences. Database Milieubelasting Voedingsmiddelen (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Ministry of Health, 2024): Sourced from RIVM (Netherlands), this dataset provides 237 records focused on the environmental impact of food and beverage products, with particular emphasis on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related environmental indicators. Emission Factor Database (Version 2) (IPCC, 2025): Derived from Scope 3 GHG Measurement and Reporting Protocols for Food and Drink, this dataset offers 729 emission factor records—primarily from France and the UK—detailing emissions across production, transportation, and consumption stages. Essay Extractions (Zhu et al., 2020): To enhance the comprehensiveness of the dataset, carbon footprint data were extracted and synthesized from academic literature, yielding information on 44 products. This process required considerable effort to consolidate fragmented data dispersed across diverse studies. PCF Database: A UK-based resource hosted on the Open Science Framework, providing concise and reliable PCF data for a range of products with a focus on greenhouse gas emissions across production stages. It contributes 18 records to this study. References AGRIBALYSE, 2025. Discover the environmental impact for food consumed products [WWW Document]. URL https://agribalyse.ademe.fr/ (accessed 2.5.25).
