— ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT LABELS
Make every food choice an informed one
We analyse every dish on your canteen menu and display its CO₂, water and land footprint right next to the food — in terms anyone can understand, without telling anyone what to eat.
— WHAT IT IS
Ingredient-level footprints. At the point of choice
We analyse every ingredient in every dish on your menu — using a database of over 250 ingredients built on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. The result is a precise environmental footprint for each item, displayed next to the food in a way that is clear and honest.
No app required. No QR codes. No lecture. Just the right information at the moment it matters — when someone is deciding what to eat.
The labels are fully customised to match your brand identity, and we handle all the analysis, design and delivery. The effort on your side is minimal.
— HOW IT WORKS
Four steps. Minimal effort on your side
Send us your ingredient list and quantities. No special format required — a simple spreadsheet works perfectly.
We calculate CO₂, water and land footprints using our 150+ ingredient database. We follow up if we need anything.
We deliver draft visualisations tailored to your brand. You review, we adjust until you are satisfied.
Print-ready labels or digital display formats — ready to place in your canteen. No operational changes needed.
— WHAT THE LABELS LOOK LIKE
Designed to be understood in three seconds
Three modes of communication: numbers, graphics, and colors. Every label shows the footprints in multiple ways, so it works for every person.
— UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE - PILOT STUDY
We tested it. The results speak for themselves
We deployed the Sustainable Spoon across the University of Twente canteen together with caterer APPèL, labelling every sandwich and hot drink on the menu. The results showed that transparent food information changes behaviour — without mandating anything.
— OUR HIGHLIGHTS
Where we have deployed it.
University of Twente
MiSt provided detailed visualisations of the environmental impact and nutritional values of every sandwich and hot drink served in the University of Twente canteens. Labels were displayed at point of purchase, giving students and staff the information they needed to make an informed choice.
