ACÉVOIL
The vegetable oil industry presents the ACéVOIL environmental assessment tool available free of charge online
The oilseed industry is committed to sustainable development. It is working for better nutrition and the preservation of the planet.
This commitment involves assessing the environmental impacts at every stage in the life cycle of the oils produced. The oilseed industry has therefore decided to offer a tool for producers and users of vegetable oils.
It is used to evaluate products and processes.
The aim is to promote understanding of the industry's impact, and to analyze the scope for progress in certain areas, with a view to ecodesign and transparency for customers and consumers.
This tool was developed by ITERG. It was produced at the request and with the support of Terres Univia, the oilseed and protein crop interprofessional organization. It enables life cycle analyses (LCAs) to be carried out, in accordance with the ISO 14040 series of standards.
It is also aligned with the methodological rules resulting from the ACéVOIL project.
These rules are included in the referential for carrying out LCAs in the vegetable oil sector (document downloadable with the tool).
The tool can be used to assess the environmental impact of vegetable oils derived from oilseeds (sunflower, rapeseed, soy).
It can also be used to assess food products formulated with vegetable oil.
