136Recently, Little Frog Plant Drinks has collaborated with Carbonstop to launch China's first "carbon-neutral" children's pea milk. Through professional consulting and technical support from Carbonstop, Little Frog Plant Drinks completed the carbon emission calculation for its new 2022 pea milk-oat original flavor product and obtained a carbon-neutral certificate issued by Carbonstop, achieving carbon neutrality throughout its entire life cycle.
01 Company Profile
Little Frog Plant Drinks is China's first innovative brand dedicated to providing comprehensive plant-based health dietary solutions for children and families. By integrating "children's education + plant-based" products, it offers new nutritional beverages based on plant proteins, particularly pea protein, to Chinese children. Starting from a single pea, the brand actively promotes the sustainable future of global food.
02 When "Carbon Neutrality" Meets "Plant Milk"
2021 marked the beginning of the "carbon neutrality" era and the "plant-based" era. Due to the lower carbon emission density of plant milk compared to cow's milk, plant milk has gradually become a new focus in the beverage consumption market. Major brands such as Mengniu, Yili, Dali Foods, Happy Lemon, Nestlé, and Coca-Cola have all entered the market. To stand out in the rapidly developing "plant-based" market, the emerging brand Little Frog Plant Drinks set its sights on "carbon neutrality."

Little Frog Plant Drinks understands that simply having plant milk is not enough, as producing plant milk still generates carbon emissions. Launching a carbon-neutral plant milk would more profoundly demonstrate the brand's commitment to low-carbon sustainability.
03 How Was the "Carbon-Neutral Children's Pea Milk" Developed?
After understanding the core needs of Little Frog Plant Drinks, Carbonstop provided a dual-driven solution based on its "integrated carbon management cloud platform + expert consultation."
「Calculation Efficiency Increased by Over 80%」
Quantifying the carbon footprint is the first step for any product to achieve carbon neutrality. Without quantification, there is no carbon management; without carbon management, there is no carbon neutrality. A product's carbon footprint involves complex emission sources from production, transportation, distribution, and other stages, and many companies face significant challenges in the calculation process due to a lack of appropriate emission factors.
To address these issues, Carbon Cloud's "Product Carbon Footprint" tool can easily solve them. Leveraging a database of over 150,000 carbon emission factors and rich industry algorithm models, Carbon Cloud's "Product Carbon Footprint" provides a one-stop service of "data automatic import - automatic calculation - report generation - certification service - carbon neutral service" to help companies efficiently and accurately calculate the carbon footprint of their products.
Through "Product Carbon Footprint," Little Frog Plant Drinks completed the carbon footprint calculation of its new pea milk from cradle to gate (raw material acquisition, production, and distribution) in less than one day. The calculation showed that the 2022 new pea milk from Little Frog Plant Drinks emitted a total of 100 tons of CO2 equivalent throughout its entire life cycle. With the support of "Product Carbon Footprint," the efficiency of calculating the carbon emissions of Little Frog Pea Milk increased by over 80%.

「Zero-Threshold Creation of Carbon-Neutral Products」
After calculating the product's carbon footprint, how can a company achieve "carbon neutrality" for its products?
To achieve carbon neutrality, most institutions offset the carbon emissions they generate. This usually requires opening accounts on carbon exchange websites and purchasing CCERs, forest carbon credits, and other offsets, which can be cumbersome and inefficient for company employees.
Carbon Cloud's integrated carbon management cloud platform is connected to multiple mainstream verification agencies, certification bodies, and carbon exchanges both domestically and internationally. Companies can purchase green certificates, forest carbon credits, CCERs, and other offsets through Carbon Cloud, bypassing the cumbersome account opening process and making it easy to achieve carbon neutrality.
With the help of Carbon Cloud, Little Frog Plant Drinks immediately purchased 100 tons of CCERs after calculating the carbon emissions, thus completing the carbon neutrality of its 2022 new pea milk-oat original flavor product.
Carbonstop is committed to the mission of "making every product have a carbon footprint." It has partnered with well-known consumer brands such as Starbucks, ROEHL, Zhenggu, and Anchor to create a series of high-quality carbon-neutral products. In the future, Carbonstop will continue to play a leading role in the carbon management field, using digital technology to empower consumer enterprises to "zero-threshold" create carbon-neutral products, contributing to the realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
