Overview

Everything you need to understand a screening carbon footprint of coffee — from cherry to packed product. Species, cherry source, wet/dry/honey process, roast energy, and dispatch mode all bind versioned L1 rows.

Green/roasted coffee product screening footprint for SME producers and roasters.

Coffee pack v0.3 screening for India SMEs: species (arabica/robusta/blend), cherry source, process, roast energy, packaging, inbound tkm, dispatch (domestic/sea/air). Cultivation defaults sit below CIRAD median ~3.6 and above some India farm-gate papers. Not ISO 14067.

Knowledge Pack coffee v0.3.0. Screening only — the model does not invent kg CO₂e.

Screening assessment for learning, buyer conversations, and improvement prioritisation. Not a third-party verified LCA or regulatory declaration.
