The work, with the
numbers left in

Real assessments for real drinks brands, written up in full: what the old model said, what we changed, and how much of the difference was an actual reduction rather than a correction.

When a better LCA
changes the answer

UNROOTED Drinks’ flagship shot went from 0.218 kg CO2e to 0.087 kg. We rebuilt the model that produced the first number and found the glass bottle alone was carrying more than half the footprint, on an assumption of 6.236 kWh per bottle taken from published literature.
