Maximise sustainability impact with the HortiFootprint Calculator

The HortiFootprint Calculator assesses the environmental impact of potted plants and cut flowers across their entire life cycle. This Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) covers the 16 impact categories and all 8 life stages of non-edible horticultural products, as specified by the FloriPEFCR. Recognized by the European Commission as the default calculation method, this approach offers comprehensive insights into your ecological footprint. It also enables you to evaluate and optimize various aspects of your business processes, helping you to further reduce your environmental impact. 

MPS-ABC participants benefit from quick onboarding, since much of the required data is already available through the MPS-ABC record-keeping environment. 

With the results from the HortiFootprint Calculator, you can see exactly which parts of your production have the most environmental impact, such as energy or water consumption. Based on this, you can implement improvements, for example by switching to sustainable energy sources or reducing waste.

Tailored to the unique needs of the floriculture industry, the HortiFootprint Calculator takes into account key sector-specific factors such as greenhouse usage, energy-intensive cultivation methods, and specialized transport requirements. The tool offers targeted analytical capabilities to account for these elements, ensuring a precise assessment of environmental impact.
