Join our “Circle of susrainability” and enjoy the new eco-friendly life style!
My-Eco-Monosashi is an app that gives you eco-score of food product based on a science-based analysis. When you buy product via My-Eco-Monosashi, you will earn “My-Eco Contribution stamp” based on the degree of carbon reduction, and you can convey your aspiration for sustainability to the producer of sustainable food.
Amount of My-Eco stamp =
“Degree of GHG reduction” x
“amount of consumption”
As you earn more stamps, the producer can realize that you value sustainability in their selection, resulting in more investment in sustainable food and technology, which in turn will contribute to stop global warming.
In addition, those who win the challenge will be entitled to eco reward (eco friendly food product gift) from My-Eco-Monosashi.
Let’s eat well and save our future!
When you buy via My-Eco-Monosashi, producers of the product will realize that you select the product because of its sustainability, which will attract more investment in sustainable food product.
Sustainable society cannot be achieved with just one good will or action. It can be achieved as a result of corrective actions with change in life style. My-Eco-Monosashi offers Eco Challenge programs for enjoyable journey in implementing our sustainable actions.
My-Eco-Monosashi conducts Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), intarnationally standardized methodology to evaluate environmental impact, and present eco score from “A” to “E” based on the amount of GHG emission of each product, and how close it is to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050.
Vegan lifestyle can be one of the ways for sustainable consumption, however it could be not easy for many people to become 100% vegetarians. My-Eco-Monosashi provides you a score in diverse granularities (e.g., score in protain intake, score in tomato)
In order to achieve carbon neutral society in 2050, we need to reduce emission of greenhouse gas (GHG). The score is classified from A to E with respect to rates of reduction of GHG, score A is the best score with the highest reduction rate, which can over-acheive the reduction with the Paris-Aligned pathway.
Let’s start selecting sustainable food on weekly basis in the beginning, and gradually shift into carbon neutral diet on a daily basis.

Life cycle assessment is a methodology, where you evaluate the potential environmental impacts quantatively throughout the entire life cycle of a product (production, transporation, preparation, consumption and disposal). This is based on a science-based approach determined in international standard, ISO14040, and the relevant data is provided from restaurant, producers and statistics.
As we rely data partially from stats, the result is not 100% accurate, however, the stats data come from more than 1 million data points, and the result achieved is closest available from the relevant data.
Under current version (Limited alpha version) of My-Eco-Monosashi, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) that causes global warming is evaluated and presented from score A to E. In future, we are planning to add score for different metrics as well.
We classify each store by comparing average top 3 items in terms of GHG emission. Each symbol means;
3 Stars: Stores provide more than 3 products, and average GHG emission of top 3 items is more than or equal to 50%
2 Stars: Average GHG emission of top 3 items is between 33%~50%, or more than 50% but store provides less than 3 products.
1 Star: Average GHG emission of top 3 items are between 25%~33%
0 Star: Average GHG emission of top 3 items are less than 25%
Yes, it could vary. In Japan, the quantitative amount of GHG emission in consumed food is attributable to 60% production, 20% transportation on the average. Within tranportation factor, key driver is the place in which food is produced, imported food would have higher GHG emission compared to local food. Under current version of My-Eco-Monosashi, the eco score provided is the score in case the food is consumed in Tokyo, but would be a rough indication for the consumption in Japan overall.
The eco score could change dramatically from eco-score E (the worst) to eco-score A(the best). For example,in general imported potato has an eco-score E, while domestic potato’s average eco score is A.
No, in case of wild fish or animals, there would be emission of GHG in process of catching them and transporting them. In case of wild fish, key drivers of the eco-score are; the method to catch them, transportation method, and distance of transportation.
No. In My-Eco-Monosashi, the score is presented as per each unit, for example, environmental impact per gram, or environmental impact per kcal. Therfore, age, height or weight would not affect the eco-score.
My-Eco-Monosashi would not directly compare the eco score of food and drinks because the score is contrasted within the same nutrition group. Under current version of My-Eco-Monosashi, the score for drinks is not available, and we are planning to release it in 2023.
Under current version of My-Eco-Monosashi, the amount of GHG (the driver of global warming) is visible as an eco-score. If you select the food with good score, you are contributing to the reduction of GHG emission. In addition, in case you buy food via My-Eco-Monosashi, your decision would be reported to the producers and thence contribute to further investment on sustainable food production.
The food good for environment does not immdiately mean such food is also good for your health. However, in many cases, the food produced with special care for environment are also good for human health. Under current version of My-Eco-Monosashi, the eco score is evaluated based on the amount of GHG emission.
The food good for environment does not immdiately mean such food is also safe. However, in many cases, the food produced with special care for environment are also good for human health. Under current version of My-Eco-Monosashi, the eco score is evaluated based on the amount of GHG emission using statistic data, and it does not keep track of each individual food production. In that sence the service is different from the food safety related service such as tracability.
The methodology to apply Life Cycle Assessment to food produce, and present it to the consumer has been introduced in European countries such as France and Switzerland. My-Eco-Monosashi has imported this method first in Japan.
In addition, My-Eco-Monosashi is unique, in that it incorporates various new features to attract Japanese consumers, such as classification by food group, original setup alligned to typical value chain in Japan and usage of app as opposed to labels.
My-Eco Contribution Stamp is a stamp you can earn, when you select and buy food products via My-Eco-Monosashi.
