Q & A
Sustainability & Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Summary
Product: Happa Ragi Carrot Beetroot Cereal for Babies
Formulation: Ragi (finger millet), carrot, beetroot (3 ingredients)
Exclusions: No sugar, oil, milk powder, flavours, or colours
Assessment Framework: ISO 14040:2006 / ISO 14044:2006
System Boundary: Cradle-to-Gate
1. Goal and Scope Definition (ISO 14044 §4.2)
Goal
To quantify cradle-to-gate environmental impacts of the Happa Ragi Carrot Beetroot Cereal for Cleantech Mart sustainability scoring, ESG disclosures, and institutional procurement.
Intended Audience
Sustainability auditors, investors, B2B buyers, and Cleantech Mart stakeholders.
Functional Unit
100 g of dry baby cereal at factory gate.
System Boundary (Cradle-to-Gate)
-
Cultivation of ragi, carrot, and beetroot
-
Raw material transport
-
Washing, drying, roasting, milling, blending
-
Primary packaging (lightweight flexible pouch)
-
Excludes distribution, consumer use, and end-of-life
2. Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) – Key Assumptions
-
Agricultural datasets based on India/global averages (FAO, Ecoinvent)
-
Electricity from Indian grid mix
-
Thermal energy typical for cereal drying and milling
-
Packaging assumed as multilayer flexible pouch
-
Mass-based allocation applied in accordance with ISO 14044
3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA)
3.1 Climate Change Impact (GWP100 – IPCC AR6)
Carbon Footprint Calculation (per 100 g):
| Life-cycle stage | Emission factor | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Crop cultivation (weighted avg.) | ~0.35 kg CO₂e/kg | 0.035 kg CO₂e |
| Processing & milling energy | ~0.6 kg CO₂e/kWh | 0.018 kg CO₂e |
| Packaging materials | ~2.5 kg CO₂e/kg | 0.020 kg CO₂e |
| Total (100 g) | — | ~0.073 kg CO₂e |
Result: ≈ 73 g CO₂e per 100 g product
3.2 Water Footprint (FAO/OECD methodology)
| Source | Water use |
|---|---|
| Crop cultivation (dominant: vegetables) | ~95 L / 100 g |
| Processing & cleaning | ~10 L / 100 g |
| Packaging | ~3 L / 100 g |
| Total | ~108 L / 100 g |
4. Comparative Benchmarking (Industry Context)
| Product category | Carbon footprint (per 100 g) |
|---|---|
| Happa Ragi Carrot Beetroot Cereal | ~73 g CO₂e |
| Conventional cosmetic face mask (synthetic/clay-based) | 150–250 g CO₂e |
| Dairy-based infant cereal | 250–450 g CO₂e |
Interpretation
The product exhibits ~50–70% lower GHG emissions than conventional cosmetic masks and substantially lower impacts than dairy-based infant cereals, driven by its plant-based, vegetable-rich formulation.
5. Material Sustainability & Toxicity Assessment
-
Ingredient Sustainability:
-
Ragi: climate-resilient, low-input cereal crop
-
Carrot & beetroot: low-impact root vegetables with moderate irrigation demand
-
-
Toxicity:
-
No synthetic additives, preservatives, colours, or flavours
-
Human toxicity and ecotoxicity risks assessed as low
-
-
Biodegradability:
-
Ingredients are fully biodegradable, food-grade biomass
-
6. Energy, Water & Circularity Assessment
-
Energy Use: Moderate; dominated by drying and milling operations
-
Water Use: Low-to-moderate relative to fruit- and nut-based formulations
-
Packaging Circularity:
-
Lightweight, low material intensity
-
Recyclability limited due to multilayer structure
-
Circularity potential medium, with improvement possible via mono-material packaging
-
7. Cleantech Mart Sustainability Scoring
Cradle-to-Gate Rating Table
| Dimension | Score |
|---|---|
| Climate Impact | A |
| Water Efficiency | A- |
| Material Safety & Toxicity | A |
| Energy Efficiency | B+ |
| Circularity | B |
Overall Cleantech Mart Sustainability Grade
A (Very High Sustainability Performance)
8. Conclusion
An ISO 14040/44-aligned cradle-to-gate LCA indicates that the Happa Ragi Carrot Beetroot Cereal demonstrates very low carbon intensity, high material safety, and strong overall environmental performance relative to conventional cosmetic masks and dairy-based infant cereals. The formulation benefits from low-impact vegetable ingredients, with the primary improvement opportunity remaining packaging circularity.
