28 Executive Summary 29 Through its initiative, “Building the Single Market for Green Products”, the European Commission 30 aims to harmonize the communication of environmental performances of products and 31 organisations for producers and consumers alike. Member States and the private sector are 32 encouraged to test two life cycle assessment (LCA)-­‐based methods developed by the European 33 Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) to measure the environmental performance of products 34 and organisations throughout their life cycles known as the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) 35 and the Organisation Environmental Footprint (OEF), respectively. 36 The European Commission launched a three-­‐year pilot testing period for both the non-­‐food and food 37 sectors through a multi-­‐stakeholder process to develop product-­‐specific rules, Product 38 Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCRs), and organisation-­‐specific rules, Organisation 39 Environmental Footprint Sector Rules (OEFSRs), as well as to test communication principles for a few 40 specific sectors and products. 41 In May 2014, the European Commission approved the pilot project to develop PEFCRs for coffee 42 based beverage. The Technical Secretariat (TS) in charge of developing the PEFCRs is composed of 43 the following organisations: D.E Master Blenders 1753, European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA), 44 European Coffee Federation (ECF), Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE), Swiss Federal Office for the 45 Environment (FOEN), Mondelēz International, Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC), Nestlé, 46 Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform, Tchibo and Quantis. 47 The product category for this PEFCR is coffee based beverage which includes the full life cycle (cradle 48 to grave) of a coffee based beverage serving sold in any market and intended for end-­‐consumers. 49 A screening study will be conducted for a set of three products (self-­‐portioned soluble coffee, self-­‐
50 portioned roast & ground filter coffee and pre-­‐portioned roast & ground coffee in capsules) along 51 with their sensitivity analysis representing the majority of the coffee consumption in Europe and 52 used as “representative products”. The bills of materials (BOMs) used for each representative 53 product were determined partly based on primary data from coffee manufacturers, existing sector 54 guidance and European market statistics. 55 This PEFCR will address in detail the core stages of a coffee based beverage: green coffee production 56 and supply, packaging supply, manufacturing (production centre -­‐ including roasting, grinding, 57 packaging filling, etc.), final product distribution, other ingredients supply (i.e. sugar, cream, milk, 58 chocolate), coffee machine (including kettle) and its packaging production, beverage preparation 3

59 (including cup production and washing), end-­‐of-­‐life of packaging, coffee and coffee machine. The 60 modelling of the products added to the coffee product (i.e. sugar, cream, milk, chocolate), though 61 being part of the system boundary of the coffee product, will not be addressed in detail by this 62 PEFCR and will be obtained from background datasets and/or modelled using other PEFCR. 63 Details on the scope of this PEFCR and the representative products chosen for the PEF screening 64 study are presented in Annex I – Representative product of this report. 4

67 Glossary 68 This glossary defines key terms used in this PEFCR. Many of the terms are based on the PEF Guide 69 (European Commission, 2013) unless otherwise noted. For further clarifications, please refer to the 70 PEF Guide. 71 Cradle to grave An assessment, including raw material extraction, processing, distribution, storage, use, and disposal or recycling stages. All relevant inputs and outputs are considered for all of the stages of the life cycle. Input Product, material or energy flow that enters a unit process. Products and materials include raw materials, intermediate products and co-­‐products. (International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) 14040:2006) Life cycle Consecutive and interlinked stages of a product system, from raw material acquisition or generation from natural resources to final disposal. (ISO 14040:2006) Life cycle approach Takes into consideration the spectrum of resource flows and environmental interventions associated with a product or organisation from a supply chain perspective, including all stages from raw material acquisition through processing, distribution, use, and end-­‐of-­‐life processes, and all relevant related environmental impacts (instead of focusing on a single issue). Life cycle assessment Compilation and evaluation of the inputs, outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle. (ISO 14040:2006) Output Product, material or energy flow that leaves a unit process. Products and materials include raw materials, intermediate products, co-­‐products and releases. (ISO 14040:2006) System boundary Definition of aspects included or excluded from the study. For example, for a “cradle-­‐to-­‐grave” EF analysis, the system boundary should include all activities from the extraction of raw materials through the processing, distribution, storage, use, and disposal or recycling stages. System boundary diagram Graphic representation of the system boundary defined for the PEF study. Unit of analysis The unit of analysis defines the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the function(s) and/or service(s) provided by the product being evaluated; the unit of analysis definition answers the questions “what?”, “how much?”, “how well?”, and “for how long?” Note 72 6

According to the European Commission (2014): The PEF screening is necessary because it helps focussing data collection activities and data quality priorities for the PEFCR supporting study. The screening shall be carried out by the Technical Secretariat based on the “representative product”. The objective of the screening is to pre-­‐identify the following key information: •
Most relevant life cycle stages; •
Most relevant processes; •
Preliminary indication about the most relevant life cycle impact categories; •
Data quality needs; •
Preliminary indication about the definition of the benchmark for the product category/sub-­‐
categories in scope. 86 ******************************************************************************** 87 8

88 Product Environmental Footprint 89 Category Rules: 90 Coffee based beverage Introduction 91 92 The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) Guide provides detailed and comprehensive technical 93 guidance on how to conduct a PEF study. PEF studies may be used for a variety of purposes, 94 including in-­‐house management and participation in voluntary or mandatory programmes. 95 This PEFCR shall be used in parallel with the PEF Guide. Where the requirements in this PEFCR are in 96 line with but at the same time more specific than those of the PEF Guide, such specific requirements 97 shall be fulfilled. 98 The use of the present PEFCR is optional for PEF guide in-­‐house applications, it is recommended for 99 external applications without comparison/comparative assertions, while it is mandatory for external 100 applications with comparisons/comparative assertions. 101 In the latter two application contexts, organisations are to fulfil the requirements of this PEFCR 102 document from section B.7 to B.10. 103 B.1 General information about the PEFCR 104 B.1.1 Technical Secretariat 105 The technical secretariat responsible for the development of the PEFCRs for coffee based beverage 106 is composed of the following organisations: 107 1.

157 B.4 PEFCR scope According to the European Commission (2014): •
The PEFCR shall clearly state the product category for which the PEFCRs apply by using descriptive language. Once the scope has been finalised the corresponding relevant CPA/NACE codes shall be listed. Products that are not covered by the PEFCR shall be clearly listed (as a clarification when products are similar). •
Products having similar functions and applications should be grouped under one product category. However, within a single PEFCR sub-­‐categories of products/applications can be identified. •
Technical Secretariat shall choose one of the following options: a. The scope is limited, there is a single main application/function and all products/technologies covered are very similar […]; b. The scope is wide, there is a single main function but different applications/technologies/materials […]; c. The scope is relatively narrow, there is a single main function, but alternative technologies/materials delivering the same function are available […]; •
The most relevant options shall be clearly indicated and justified in the scope section of the PEFCR template. The proposed scope shall be discussed and agreed by the end of the first consultation phase. 158 159 The product category for this PEFCR is a coffee based beverage which is defined as follows: 160 •
Coffee based beverage, sold in any market, and intended for end-­‐consumers. Coffee based 161 beverage covered by this PEFCR may include other ingredients such as sugar, cream, milk 162 and/or cocoa powder. 163 When other ingredients (i.e. sugar, cream, milk and/or cocoa powder) are added to a cup of coffee, 164 they need to be included in the system boundaries since they are part of the PEF of coffee based 165 beverage. However, though some basic rules on how to include those ingredients in the coffee PEF 166 will be provided in this PEFCR, the modelling of these additional ingredients is not addressed in 167 detail by this PEFCR and will be obtained from background datasets and/or modelled using other 168 PEFCR. 12

169 The entire life cycle (cradle to grave) of a coffee based beverage can be assessed using this PEFCR. 170 Additionally, this PEFCR could also be used to assess partial life cycle impacts of products included in 171 this category1. In both cases, the scope of the analysis has to be clearly stated. 172 Ready-­‐to-­‐drink coffee, considered as a beverage including coffee and milk, sold pre-­‐packed, chilled 173 or heated through a chemical reaction before opening it, is not addressed by this PEFCR: the TS 174 considers it as a different product, with a different function from the coffee prepared at the time of 175 the consumption and this makes it more competing with other products such as soft drinks instead 176 of coffee products. However, as long as no specific PEFCR is addressing ready-­‐to-­‐drink coffee, 177 companies desiring to assess the PEF of their ready-­‐to-­‐drink are invited to be aligned as much as 178 possible with this PEFCR. According to the European Commission (2014): •
Once the scope has been clearly identified the Technical Secretariat shall decide if more than one sub-­‐category is needed and if the unit of analysis shall be refined for the subcategories. If a single unit of analysis is used, the benchmark (and classes of performance if relevant and appropriate) is chosen at the unit of analysis level […]. In case the PEFCR includes sub-­‐categories with appropriate unit of analysis, then the benchmark (and classes of performance if relevant and appropriate) can only be defined at the sub-­‐category level […]. In case there are no sub-­‐categories then the situation is more straightforward […]. 179 180 The main function of the coffee products is to provide the consumer with a coffee based beverage 181 and alternative technologies to deliver the product are available. According to Nielsen (2014), the 182 average of volumes of coffee sold in Europe in one year up to June 2014 (from 1st July 2013 to 30th 183 June 2014) is partitioned as follows: 33.3% soluble coffee2, 55.6% roast & ground coffee3 (excluding 184 coffee in capsules) and 11.1% roast & ground coffee in single serve which include capsules and soft 185 pods. Therefore, the majority of coffee consumption in Europe can be captured by a set of three 186 products, being self-­‐portioned soluble coffee, self-­‐portioned roast & ground filter coffee and pre-­‐
187 portioned roast & ground coffee in capsules, along with their sensitivity analysis. This set is used as 188 “representative product”. 1

189 The TS has already started to define an approach for benchmarks determination. Given the 190 complexity of the scope and market for coffee, the discussion on benchmarks will be continued 191 during the next months: today, the TS has agreed on the approach proposed in Appendix B and it is 192 the intention of the TS to refine this approach in the coming months. Note The current document presents a first approach to the benchmarks definition which will be refined in the coming months. 193 194 B.4.1 Unit of analysis 195 Key aspects to determine the unit of analysis are summarized in Table 1. Key aspects regarding 196 “what?”, “how much?”, “how well?”, and “for how long?” are used to define the function provided 197 by coffee based beverage. 198 199 Table 1 Key aspects to determine the unit of analysis Product Aspect detail Coffee PEFCR What? Function provided Coffee based beverage4 How much? Magnitude of the function A typical serving size associated with that specific «technology» How long? Duration of the product provided Once How well? Expected level of quality The typical serving temperature associated to this «technology» 200 201 The reason for choosing a coffee based beverage serving instead of just a “cup of coffee” is because 202 this PEFCR may include additional ingredients such as sugar, cream, milk and/or cocoa powder which 203 may be added to the coffee depending on the consumer taste and habits. 204 In relation to the answer to the questions “how much?” and “how well?”, this PEFCR considers 205 providing the typical serving size and serving temperature expected by a consumer and associated 206 with that specific « technology » (i.e. brewing method) because both serving size and temperature 207 are often defined by the technology and the consumer (out-­‐of-­‐home) may not have the possibility to 4
Or, for example, 1 kg of green coffee, when this PEFCR is used to assess only the green coffee production part. 14

208 choose which technology to use (i.e. a soluble coffee over a coffee in capsule or a small size coffee 209 over a big coffee). 210 Thus, for the complete life cycle of coffee based beverage, the following unit of analysis will be 211 considered for this PEFCR as default: 212 •
Providing one coffee based beverage serving of the type and size typically associated with 213 the technology assessed 214 B.4.2 Representative product(s) 215 The majority of coffee consumption in Europe can be captured by a set of three products, being self-­‐
216 portioned soluble coffee, self-­‐portioned roast & ground filter coffee and pre-­‐portioned roast & 217 ground coffee in capsules, along with their sensitivity analysis. This set is used as “representative 218 product”. 219 Typical serving size for each representative product was determined based on public studies or 220 sector guidance already existing and TS inputs. 221 The packaging type selected for each representative product was determined by selecting the typical 222 popular product for each representative product, on the basis of knowledge of the TS: for coffee in 223 capsules, other type of packaging will be assessed as sensitivity. Other sensitivity analyses that will 224 be assessed are related to beverage composition (sugar, milk, cream, cocoa powder), quantity of 225 water, capsules delivery, coffee beans distribution, loss rates, coffee machine, cup (production with 226 end-­‐of-­‐life and washing) and other parameters which will be identified important during first 227 iterative screening (possibly infrastructure). The set of three products together with the sensitivity 228 analysis cover the majority of the coffee consumption in Europe. 229 Table 2 presents the amount of coffee and water per serving to satisfy the functional unit for each 230 product defined. The quantity of water used per serving was estimated to be a typical serving size 231 used in Europe for each type of coffee based beverage, on the basis of the knowledge of the TS: 232 serving size will depend on consumer preference in a given market and to the knowledge of the TS 233 there are no studies available to support this choice. Therefore, the quantity of water chosen for 234 each product was determined by selecting the most popular product in Europe for each type of 235 coffee based beverage on the basis of the experience and knowledge of the TS. Additionally, 120 ml 236 is the size used in the Commission Working Document on possible Ecodesign and EU Energy Label 237 measures for Domestic Coffee Machines which defines the protocol for measuring electricity 238 consumption by coffee machines. For coffee capsules, the 120 ml size is assessed as sensitivity. 239 Other ingredients such as sugar, cream, milk and/or cocoa powder can be added and they are 15

240 assessed as sensitivity: Table 2 reports only the amounts of coffee and water, the amounts of the 241 additional ingredients will be presented at a later stage in Annex I. The quantity of coffee grounds 242 used per serving has been defined according to the Syndicat Français du Café (2013) for the roast & 243 ground filter coffee and soluble coffee, while for coffee capsules values are based on experts 244 judgement from the members of the TS. 245 246 Table 2 Amount of coffee and water per serving to satisfy the functional unit for each product Self-­‐portioned soluble coffee Self-­‐portioned roast & ground filter coffee Pre-­‐portioned roast & ground coffee in capsules Quantity of coffee grounds Quantity of water inside the cup or soluble coffee for one for one serving (ml) serving (g) 2 120 7 120 5.3 40 247 248 249 Additional information is detailed in “Annex I – Representative product”. 250 B.4.3 Product classification 251 The corresponding Classification of Products by Activity (CPA) codes for coffee based beverage are 252 shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. 16

According to the European Commission (2014): •
Once the scope of the PEFCR has been agreed, the Technical Secretariat shall develop a “model” of the representative product existing in the EU market and belonging to the product category at hand. •
At least one representative product (RP) has to be defined for each PEFCR as it forms the basis for the modelling of the PEF screening. When within a product category several different applications are supported, several RPs may need to be identified. •
Also, when a product category is made up of various technologies which all deliver the same function, several RPs may be needed to ensure that the PEFCR will cover the data collection specific for all these technologies and to allow the identification of relevant life cycle stages and hotspots for each technology used. •
In order to use the screening step to identify the hotspots, the “model” of the representative product shall cover all potential technologies/materials that fulfil the scope in order to perform relevant sensitivity analysis. Lack of available data and low market shares shall not be used as an argument for exclusions. •
There are two options for defining the representative product: 1. It could be a virtual (non-­‐existing) product. This is probably the best option when the market is made up of different technologies/materials and there is sufficient market and technical information available. The virtual product could be calculated based on average sales-­‐weighted characteristics of all existing technologies/materials covered by the scope of the PEFCR. In addition to the sales-­‐weighted average, other weighting sets can be explored in the pilot phase, for example weighted average based on mass (ton of material) or weighted average based on product units (pieces); 2. It could be a real product. This is probably the best option when the market is made up of different technologies, but incomplete market and/or technical information are available. A real product sold at EU market level may be chosen as representative product. 427 Representative product description 428 The product category of coffee is made up of various technologies (i.e. brewing methods) which all 429 deliver the same function. According to Nielsen (2014), the average of volumes of coffee sold in 430 Europe in one year up to June 2014 (from 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2014) is partitioned as follows: 431 33.3% soluble coffee, 55.6% roast & ground coffee (excluding coffee in capsules) and 11.1% roast & 432 ground coffee in single serve which include capsules and soft pods. Therefore, the majority of coffee 26

TEL +41 (21) 693 91 92 - FAX + 41 (21) 693 91 96 | info @quantis-intl.com - www.quantis-intl.com
433 consumption in Europe can be captured by a set of three products, being self-­‐portioned soluble 434 coffee, self-­‐portioned roast & ground filter coffee and pre-­‐portioned roast & ground coffee in 435 capsules, along with their sensitivity analysis. This set is used as “representative product”. These 436 products are better defined and explained in Table 3. The choice of real products instead of virtual 437 products which include for example different types of coffee or packaging (i.e. glass jar together 438 with sticks and laminate pouch for soluble coffee on the basis of their share on the market), has 439 been done because of incomplete statistical market data for packaging and coffee types. 440 Table 3 Representative products considered Type of product Self-­‐portioned Pre-­‐portioned Technology Representative product Soluble A 120 ml serving prepared with spray dried soluble coffee bought at supermarket and water boiled in an electric kettle. The serving is drunk in a reusable cup. Roast & ground A 120 ml serving prepared with roast & ground coffee bought at supermarket in a specific drip filter machine with hot plate unit. This serving is drunk in a reusable cup. Capsules A 40 ml serving prepared with roast & ground coffee capsule bought at supermarket in a specific capsule coffee machine. This serving is drunk in a reusable cup. 441 442 For the complete life cycle of a coffee based beverage, the following unit of analysis will be 443 considered in this PEFCR as default: 444 •
445 Providing one coffee based beverage serving of the type and size typically associated with the technology assessed 446 Regarding the coffee cultivation, the Arabica coffee will be assessed as default scenario, for all the 447 representative products, according to the inventory data provided by Syndicat Français du Café 448 (2013), based on Coltro et al. (2006) and Agne (2000) and presented in Table 4. Robusta and organic 449 Arabica coffee will be assessed as sensitivity provided we have the primary data at the time of the 450 PEF screenings. Multi-­‐cropping, sustainable coffee production practices (e.g. organic and other 451 sustainability standards) and land-­‐use change will be addressed in the category rules drafting. 452 27

455 The following primary packaging types will be considered for each of the three representative 456 products, being typical for each product, based on TS knowledge: 457 •
Roast & ground coffee in capsules: plastic capsules 458 •
Soluble coffee: glass jar 459 •
Roast & ground filter coffee: flexible laminate pouch 460 Different alternative primary packaging for capsules are evaluated as sensitivity analysis: aluminium, 461 bio-­‐plastic, paper capsules. 462 Regarding distribution, the default scenarios for the three representative products will include the 463 delivery to supermarket for households consumption. For roast & ground coffee in capsules, the 464 scenario of delivery to offices will be assessed as sensitivity. 465 The determination of the reusable cup as the most representative scenario has been done on the 466 basis of the TS members knowledge. However, the use of a disposable carton cup is assessed as 467 sensitivity. 468 Wastage is assessed as sensitivity since according to Syndicat Français du Café́ (2013) avoidable 469 waste can play a non-­‐negligible role in the environmental impact assessment (e.g. the excess 470 quantity of water boiled or coffee prepared per functional unit). The following assumptions will be 471 assessed as sensitivity: 472 •
473 Spoilage of prepared coffee for roast & ground filter coffee: 33% losses (according to Humbert et al. (2009)) 474 •

483 Bills of materials (BOMs) or if more suitable, ingredients According to the European Commission (2014): •
When defining the “representative product” model, the Technical Secretariat should include the following elements to the extent possible: •
Bill of materials (BOM) or if more suitable, ingredients; •
A flow diagram (system boundaries) covering the entire life cycle ; •
Assumptions related to transportation systems; •
Assumptions related to use scenario (if relevant); •
Assumptions related to End of Life scenario, including recycling and re-­‐use as relevant. •
This information, if not already produced when asking the approval of the scope and representative product to the Steering Committee, shall be in any case included in the report to be sent to the Commission describing all the modelling assumptions used for the screening (see 3.5.1). •
The "representative product" shall be presented and discussed with the relevant stakeholders during the first physical consultation meeting. The model and the modelling assumptions are the basis for the screening exercise. 484 485 Table 6 reports the amount of coffee and water per serving to satisfy the functional unit for each 486 product defined. 487 The quantity of water used per serving was estimated to be a typical serving size used in Europe for 488 each type of coffee based beverage, on the basis of the knowledge of the TS: serving size will 489 depend on consumer preference in a given market and to the knowledge of the TS there are no 490 studies available to support this choice. Therefore, the quantity of water chosen for each 491 representative product was determined by selecting the most popular product in Europe for each 492 type of coffee based beverage based on the experience and knowledge of the TS. Additionally, 120 493 ml is the size used in the Commission Working Document on possible Eco design and EU Energy 494 Label measures for Domestic Coffee Machines which defines the protocol for measuring electricity 495 consumption by coffee machines. For coffee capsules, the 120 ml size is assessed as sensitivity. 496 Other ingredients such as sugar, cream, milk and/or cocoa powder can be added and they are 497 assessed as sensitivity: Table 6 reports only the amounts of coffee and water, the amounts of the 498 additional ingredients will presented at a later stage. 31

499 The quantity of coffee grounds used per serving has been defined accordingly to Syndicat Français 500 du Café (2013) for the roast & ground filter coffee and soluble coffee, while for roast & ground 501 coffee in capsules average value is based on the TS knowledge. 502 Table 6 Amount of coffee and water per serving to satisfy the functional unit for each product Self-­‐portioned soluble coffee Self-­‐portioned roast & ground filter coffee Pre-­‐portioned roast & ground coffee in capsules Quantity of coffee grounds or soluble coffee for one serving (g) 2 Quantity of water used to prepare one serving (ml) 7 120 5.3 40 120 503 504 Details for the packaging considered for each products are shown in Table 7.

508 The term primary packaging is used to represent the packaging that typically cannot be separated 509 from the coffee until the time of consumption (such as the packaging in direct contact with the 510 product, the lid, the air tight laminated pocket used to protect capsules which are not air protected 511 as well as any type of label attached to it), while secondary packaging is the packaging which can be 512 separated from the primary packaging days before the consumption without causing conservation 513 problems (such as sleeves and boxes) but that is typically purchased by the consumer, by opposition 514 to the tertiary packaging used to ease distribution but normally not reaching the consumer (such as 515 pallet, packaging film, cardboard trays). The distinction is useful as secondary and tertiary packaging 516 will typically be subject to different modelling approach such as end-­‐of-­‐life scenarios (end-­‐of-­‐life for 517 primary and secondary packaging is mainly influenced by consumer while end-­‐of-­‐life for tertiary 518 packaging is mainly influenced by retailers). 519 33

537 Figure 5 Details on each life cycle stage considered 538 539 Within each of these stages, the LCA considers all identifiable “upstream” inputs to provide a 540 comprehensive view of the product system. For example, transportation does not only include the 541 operation (fuel consumption and tail pipe emissions), but also upstream processes such as fuel 542 production, truck production as well as maintenance and road construction. In this way, the 543 production chains of all inputs are traced back to the original extraction of raw materials. 544 Note that infrastructure is included in all stages. 545 Transportation assumptions 546 As shown in Figure 4, transportation associated with each of the life cycle stages is considered. 547 The default distances that will be used for the screening study are provided in Table 8. 35

The daily allocation factor attributed to the kettle production is calculated according 565 to Humbert et al. (2009), which considers that 1 litre of water per day is boiled, two cups of coffee 566 per day are prepared and for each cup 200% of the amount of water needed is boiled (this value 567 includes spoilage). Therefore, the daily allocation factor for the kettle is 48%. 568 For washing, it was assumed that cup is washed in a dishwasher. Impacts related to dishwashing in a 569 dishwasher based on the fraction of space that the cup takes up per dishwasher cycle include the 570 following: 571 •

630 Appendix A – Overview of existing PCR and sectorial guidance documents According to the European Commission (2014): •
There are many existing PCRs for several product categories. Before starting the development of a new PEFCR, the Technical Secretariat shall carry out a thorough search to identify if PCRs for the same product category have been developed. •
If no PCRs for the product category of interest are found suitable to be used as basis for the PEFCR, the Technical Secretariat shall move forward to develop its own PEFCR “from scratch”. However, when the Technical Secretariat finds that a PCR exists for the same or overlapping product category in one or more other program(s), the Technical Secretariat shall perform an analysis identifying the consistency of the existing PCR(s) against the criteria set in this Guidance and in the PEF Guide. Existing PCRs need to be evaluated only up to the point where a decision can be made whether they should be used as a basis for the development of a PEFCR or not. Only those PCRs identified as suitable basis for a PEFCR need to be evaluated further with the necessary detail. 631 632 The main documents for coffee based beverage available to date to the TS’s knowledge are 633 presented below. 634 These documents are not totally aligned with the PEF requirements because they do not fully follow 635 a mandatory requirement for PEFCRs (e.g. some stages are excluded from the product life cycle or 636 default EF impact categories are not included). Nevertheless, these documents represent very useful 637 sources of information and they are used as references when relevant. 638 44

2008 645 GAP ANALYSIS Guidelines to the environmental impact assessment of coffee in France PCR on UN CPC 01610 green coffee 2013:21 Life cycle assessment of spray dried soluble coffee and comparison with alternatives (drip filter and capsules espresso). Version 10-­‐Jul-­‐13 Environdec (2013). VERSION 1.01 System boundaries -­‐
exclusion Avoidable waste (e.g. the excess quantity of water boiled per functional unit) is excluded from use phase Kettle/Coffee machine manufacture and end-­‐of-­‐life Filter manufacture and end-­‐of-­‐life Cup manufacture, end-­‐of-­‐life and washing Plant machinery and infrastructure. Transport to end-­‐of-­‐life facilities at each stage in the life cycle Capital inputs – a capital input to the system is an input with a life of greater than 3 years. Human energy inputs Carbon sequestration in above and below-­‐
ground biomass (other than in the context of land use change) Soil carbon changes (other than in the context of land use change) Transport of employees to and from their place of work Equipment manufacture such as irrigation pumps The manufacture of machinery sheds and other buildings Any other processes that are not directly related to the production of the green coffee (e.g. administrative functions of the company) as these will have a minimal impact on the final calculation Journal of Cleaner Production 2009 Land use change and multi-­‐crops have not been included in green coffee cultivation. For information, factory buildings, administration, commuting and business travels are included in overheads 646 647 47

2008 648 Appendix B – Definition of the benchmarks 649 650 651 652 653 The TS has already started to define an approach for benchmarks determination based on the products available on the market in Europe. Given the complexity of the scope and market for coffee, the discussion on benchmarks will be continued during the next months: today, the TS has agreed on the approach proposed below. It is the intention of TS to refine this approach in the coming months. 654 655 656 657 658 659 660 Table 14 captures the different types of coffee existing on the European market: values in the red cells will be refined in the coming months on the basis of statistical market data and experts judgement (when market data are not available). More specifically, in the Table 14 market share for coffee products have been calculated on the basis of Nielsen (2014), German Coffee Association (2013) and experts judgement. Green coffee shares have calculated on the basis of Panhuysen et al. (2014), European Coffee Federation (2014) and experts judgement. The other values have been calculated on the basis of experts judgement. Note 661 The current document presents a first approach to the benchmarks definition which will be refined in the coming months. 48
