What is Huel’s carbon footprint per meal?

Explains Huel's carbon footprint per meal target of under 0.5 kg CO₂e and how Huel measures its products across the full life cycle.

Written by Jamie Forbes

Huel aims to keep the carbon footprint of every Huel meal below 0.5 kg of CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent), in line with a 1.5°C climate pathway.

How Huel measures its carbon footprint

Huel measures the carbon footprint of all its products using a full life cycle assessment (LCA) approach — covering every stage from ingredient sourcing and farming, through manufacturing, packaging, and delivery to the customer.

How Huel compares to conventional meals

The average Western meal has a carbon footprint significantly higher than 0.5 kg CO₂e. Meat-heavy meals can reach 3–7 kg CO₂e per serving. By choosing Huel for even one or two meals a day, customers can meaningfully reduce their personal carbon footprint without sacrificing nutritional completeness.

Ongoing monitoring

Huel regularly monitors the carbon footprint of all products and continues to look for ways to reduce emissions further as the product range evolves.
