Oterra partners with HowGood to measure natural color carbon emissions

Natural dye producer Oterra has partnered with sustainability database firm HowGood to track the carbon footprint and environmental impact of its ingredients, according to Food Dive and Cision. [1][2]

Food Dive reported that more food manufacturers are shifting to natural colors as consumer demand moves away from artificial options. To meet this demand, ingredient suppliers are introducing standardized metrics that are already widely used in mainstream consumer packaged goods. [1]

HowGood tracks environmental metrics and emissions for more than 30,000 ingredients, chemicals, and materials used across the consumer packaged goods industry, Food Dive reported. [1]

Sustainable management integrates environmental protection, economic viability, and resource conservation to support present and future needs without depleting natural resources. [4]
