Eaternity

Core Features

Eaternity combines a peer-reviewed food LCA database with tools for kitchens and product teams. Results flow via API or ready-made reports so users can measure, improve, and communicate progress. Its main features include:

• Food LCA Database: Extensive dataset (900+ core ingredients) with parameters for origin, seasonality, processing, packaging, and preservation—covering full “farm-to-kitchen” supply chains.

• Dynamic Calculations: Footprints adjust automatically for daily factors like ingredient origin and seasonality, ensuring results reflect real purchasing and menu changes.

• Multi-Indicator Outputs: Beyond CO₂e, results include water footprint, tropical deforestation risk, and animal-welfare indicators for more balanced decisions.

• Eaternity Score & Labels: Product-level, PEF-style scoring you can print or display, turning science into clear consumer communication and internal KPIs.

• Monthly Reports for Restaurants: Automated PDF reporting tracks progress, targets, and drivers (e.g., imports, transport distance, seasonality) to support continuous improvement.

• API & System Integration: RESTful API and ingredient-matching streamline connections to ERP/PoS (e.g., SAP, Microsoft Dynamics) and partner systems for live scores.

Closing Insights

Eaternity’s traction comes from enabling both product teams and kitchens to act on evidence. Prominent partners include Hilcona which integrated a CO₂ score into its public foodservice recipe collection in 2023, giving chefs immediate visibility of dish-level impacts; the program is scientifically supported by the Eaternity Institute. Compass Group Switzerland has served climate-friendly menus with Eaternity since 2014, illustrating adoption at scale across corporate and institutional catering. CF Gastro, a leading wholesaler, is also rolling out an Eaternity-powered score to disclose CO₂, water, rainforest, and animal-welfare impacts across its assortment, showing how upstream transparency feeeds into better purchasing.

At the operational level, Eaternity’s API supplies real-time indicators, while monthly reports and award labels turn analysis into guest-facing communication and continuous improvement. The outlook looks positive: a large, peer-reviewed food LCA database and expanding multi-impact coverage (water, deforestation risk, animal welfare) position the platform for broader sustainability reporting and menu optimization use cases. For prospective users, Eaternity’s value lies in its practicality: trustworthy footprint data that supports everyday decisions, from ingredient selection and supplier choices to communicating climate-conscious menus.
