Sgôr Werdd: effaith amgylcheddol cynhyrchion bwyd

Green-Score

Sgôr amgylcheddol o A i E yw'r Sgôr Gwyrdd sy'n ei gwneud hi'n hawdd cymharu effaith cynhyrchion bwyd ar yr amgylchedd.

Nodyn: y Sgôr Werdd yw enw newydd yr Eco-Sgôr ers diwedd 2024.

Why an environmental score?

More and more consumers are concerned about the impact of their food not only on their health, but also on the health of our planet. Thanks to the Nutri-Score, it is now very easy to take into account the nutritional quality of products when purchasing, but it is very difficult if not impossible to compare their environmental footprint.

It is urgent to provide consumers with clear information about this environmental footprint, so that they can easily and quickly compare it for several products. Dyma beth mae'r radd amgylcheddol Sgôr Gwyrdd yn ei ganiatáu.

Y Sgôr Werdd, offeryn ar gyfer bwyd mwy cynaliadwy

Mae'r Sgôr Werdd yn helpu defnyddwyr sy'n dymuno symud tuag at ddeiet mwy cynaliadwy, trwy eu hannog i:

  • Eat less meat but of better quality
  • Consume more organic products and products with quality labels
  • Favor local and seasonal products, with little packaging
  • Limit products containing problematic ingredients (endangered fish, unsustainable palm oil)

Beth yw'r Sgôr Gwyrdd?

Mae'r Sgôr Werdd wedi'i gynllunio ar fodel tebyg i'r Sgôr Maeth: mae'n radd o A i E sy'n crynhoi 15 o effeithiau amgylcheddol. Mae'r sgôr Sgôr Gwyrdd yn cael ei gynrychioli gan logo lliw siâp dail gyda llythyren o A (effaith isel iawn) i E (effaith uchel iawn).

Sut mae'r Sgôr Gwyrdd yn cael ei gyfrifo?

The benchmark score: life cycle analysis (LCA) with data from the Agribalyse database

For each product category, a benchmark score is established using data from the Agribalyse environmental database designed by ADEME and INRAE. These data correspond to the life cycle analysis (LCA) of the products.

Life cycle assessment (LCA)

Life cycle analysis is a standardized assessment method for carrying out a multi-stage environmental assessment and multi-criteria:

  • 6 production steps: agriculture, processing, packaging, transportation, distribution and consumption
  • 14 environmental impact indicators: climate change/carbon footprint, ozone layer depletion, ionizing radiation, land, water, and energy use; pollution of air and marine and fresh water (particles, acidification, eutrophication); and depletion of resources.

Bonuses and penalties to refine the grading of each product

In order to take into account certain impacts on the environment which are not covered well by the life cycle analysis (such as biodiversity) and the specificities of each product within the same category, the score of reference is modulated with bonuses and penalties:

Mode of production

A bonus is awarded to products that have an official label, a label or a certification that guarantees environmental benefits (organic, fair trade, HVE, Label Rouge, Bleu Blanc Cœur, MSC/ASC).

Origin of ingredients

A bonus is awarded based on the origin of the ingredients. This bonus takes into account the impact on transportation and also the environmental policy of each producer's country.

Endangered species

A penalty is given to products that contain ingredients that have significant negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems, such as palm oil, the production of which is responsible for massive deforestation.

Packaging

A penalty is calculated to take into account the circularity of packaging (use of recycled raw material and recyclability) and overpacking.

An increased need for transparency to better measure and reduce environmental impacts

Er mwyn cyfrifo'r Sgôr Werdd yn gywir, mae angen cael gwybodaeth nad yw o reidrwydd wedi'i nodi ar y pecynnu (megis tarddiad a chanran union pob cynhwysyn) neu sydd anaml ar gael mewn ffurf ddefnyddiadwy (megis rhestr o holl gydrannau'r pecynnu gyda'r union fathau o blastigion a ddefnyddir).

Defnyddir gwerthoedd cyfartalog pan nad yw'r wybodaeth hon ar gael eto, ond rydym nawr yn galw ar bawb i'n helpu i gasglu'r wybodaeth hon a fydd yn ddefnyddiol iawn ar gyfer y Sgôr Werdd ond hefyd ar gyfer llawer o ddefnyddiau eraill.



Sut i weld y Sgôr Werdd ar gyfer cynhyrchion bwyd?

Scan products with the Open Food Facts app

Mae ap Open Food Facts yn caniatáu ichi gael Sgôr Werdd cynhyrchion yn gyflym: y cyfan sy'n rhaid i chi ei wneud yw sganio eu cod bar. If you have already installed the Open Food Facts app, please update it to get the new version!

Y Sgôr Werdd ar yr ap Ffeithiau Bwyd Agored

Mae'r Sgôr Werdd ar gael, neu bydd ar gael yn fuan, yn apiau'r partneriaid lansio. And Open Food Facts is a Wikipedia of foods that anyone can reuse freely and for free. Bydd y mwy na 100 o gymwysiadau sy'n defnyddio cronfa ddata OFF hefyd yn gallu arddangos y Sgôr Werdd a gyfrifwyd.

Cymharwch Sgôr Werdd cynhyrchion ar wefan Ffeithiau Bwyd Agored

Mae gwefan Open Food Facts yn caniatáu i bawb weld a chymharu Sgôr Werdd mwy na 750,000 o gynhyrchion bwyd a werthir yn Ffrainc. Mae canlyniadau pob chwiliad yn dangos yr ansawdd maethol gyda'r Nutri-Score, bwydydd wedi'u prosesu'n eithriadol gyda NOVA, a'r effaith amgylcheddol gyda'r Green-Score. Bydd y Sgôr Werdd yn cael ei gyflwyno i wledydd eraill cyn gynted ag y bydd cyfrifiad Sgôr Werdd perthnasol ar gael.

Sut gall y Sgôr Werdd annog gwella cynhyrchion a lleihau eu heffaith amgylcheddol

Mae gan y Sgôr Werdd ddau lifer gweithredu:

  • Gyda'r Sgôr Werdd, gall defnyddwyr wneud dewis mwy gwybodus drwy ystyried effaith amgylcheddol cynhyrchion fel maen prawf dewis.
  • Mae'r Sgôr Werdd hefyd yn annog gweithgynhyrchwyr i wella eu cynhyrchion fel eu bod yn cyflawni sgôr Sgôr Werdd uwch.

Y nod yn y pen draw yw bod gweithgynhyrchwyr yn gwella Sgôr Werdd eu cynhyrchion, gan y bydd o fudd i bob defnyddiwr.

The energy rating of household appliances has thus profoundly transformed the market (try to find a fridge rated E, or even D or C!). And the democratization of Nutri-Score has also encouraged many manufacturers to improve the nutritional quality of their products to obtain a better rating (to the point that some French manufacturers even brag about it on bus stops, such as Brossard for its Savane cake).

To encourage product improvements, our platform for producers automatically analyzes data provided by manufacturers to identify avenues for improvement. The platform thus identifies all the products that would obtain a better Nutri-Score score with a slight change in composition (a reduction in salt of 5% for example).

Cyn bo hir, bydd y platfform yn ei gwneud hi'n bosibl awgrymu ffyrdd o leihau'r effaith ecolegol a chael Sgôr Werdd gwell (er enghraifft trwy ddefnyddio plastig mwy ailgylchadwy ar gyfer pecynnu, neu drwy ddisodli olew palmwydd ag olew arall).



Sut allwn ni ddysgu mwy a sut allwn ni ein helpu i ddatblygu’r Sgôr Werdd?

Mae croeso i bawb ein helpu i greu mwy o dryloywder, addysgu defnyddwyr, ac annog gwella cynnyrch drwy Green-Score.

Mae'r Sgôr Werdd yn dal yn ifanc a gellir ei wella'n sicr. Given the climate and environmental emergency, however, it seems important to us to make it available now.

Drwy gydweithio, byddwn yn gallu gwella'r Sgôr Werdd yn raddol, mireinio ei fformiwla, a chasglu'r data sy'n angenrheidiol ar gyfer ei gyfrifo.

Your feedback, observations and suggestions will therefore be very valuable.
