Beyond Carbon

Impact, Measured

The drinks industry accounts for a significant share of global water use, agricultural emissions, and packaging waste. alkatera gives you the tools to measure, understand, and reduce your true environmental footprint.

The Challenge

An industry with a hidden footprint

~1.5 billion

Tonnes of CO₂ from global food & drink annually

70%

Of global freshwater used by agriculture

36%

Of packaging waste comes from food & beverage

What We Measure

Six dimensions of true impact

Most platforms stop at carbon. alkatera measures the full spectrum of environmental, social, and governance impact, because sustainability is about more than emissions.

Carbon Emissions

Full Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas accounting across your entire value chain, from raw materials to end-of-life.

Water Footprint

Blue, green, and grey water consumption tracking across agriculture, production, and packaging processes.

Land Use & Biodiversity

Measure the land footprint of your ingredients and the biodiversity impact of your agricultural supply chain.

Waste & Circularity

Track packaging recyclability, spent grain diversion, wastewater treatment, and circular economy metrics.

Social Impact

Community engagement, fair trade sourcing, living wages, and social governance indicators for responsible business.

Governance & Compliance

Track alignment with ESG frameworks, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices across your organisation.

How It Works

From data to action

Measure

Input your products, ingredients, processes, and supply chain data. Our LCA engine calculates your impact across all six dimensions automatically.
