Abstract

This is not a stand-alone document but should be read in parallel to the report ‘Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules for Fresh Produce, Wageningen, Report 2025-038, Wageningen Social & Economic Research (Weststrate et al., 2025a). The purpose of this representative product study was to identify the most relevant impact categories, life cycle stages, processes and (direct) elementary flows and also to identify the data needs, all feeding into the methodology development for Fresh ProducePEFCR. The study is as much as possible conducted in line with Annex I and II of the Commission Recommendation (EU) 2021/2279 of15 December 2021 on the use of the Environmental Footprint Method to measure and communicate the life cycle environmental performance of products and organisations (European Commission, 2021).
