To the menu

The delicious climate protection

Even small variations in the choice of ingredients can make a big difference. Above all, more plant-based foods contribute to a drastic reduction in the CO₂ balance of the KlimaTeller. In general, the seasonality, regionality and organic quality of the food used play an important role in the climate footprint of the meal.

A dish can only be called a KlimaTeller if it produces at least 50% less CO₂ than the average of conventional dishes. This average is based on 76,000 dishes analysed by Eaternity (EDB Eaternity Database). With the KlimaTeller, around 1 kilogramme of CO₂ is saved per meal - this corresponds to a car journey of around 8 kilometres.

The KlimaTeller can be recognised by the KlimaTeller logo in the menu.
