It should go without saying that Easter is a chocoholic\u2019s Christmas \u2013 but is your habit damaging more than just your wallet and waistline?<\/p>\n<p>A new study from researchers at The University of Manchester has revealed the environmental impact of the UK\u2019s chocolate addiction. And yes, our population is one of the largest consumers of chocolate in the world \u2013 in fact, we\u2019re sixth in the global rankings for chocolate eating.<\/p>\n<p>But that habit has an environmental cost. The study, published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0963996918301273\">Food Research International<\/a>, revealed that 2.1 million tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced by the UK chocolate industry every year. To put this into perspective, that\u2019s the same as a city with a population as large as Belfast.<\/p>\n<h2>Full of (cocoa) beans<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-998 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-1.jpg 1766w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t consider yourself a chocoholic, the ingredient is so prolific, chances are you eat it regularly. From desserts and biscuits to cereals and even sauces, those cocoa beans get everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>For simplicity, the study focused on just three types of chocolate product \u2013 bars of milk chocolate (the preferred option over dark chocolate in the UK), sharing chocolates and moulded bars. All aspects of the production lifecycle were considered, from the raw materials used and their transportation through to the packaging choice.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that the stage of the chocolate lifecycle with the most significant environmental impact is the production of the necessary raw materials \u2013 particularly milk powder. This is followed by the packaging and the transport of both ingredients and finished products.\u00a0 For example, to make just one bar of chocolate, it takes close to 1,000 litres of water \u2013 more than a person drinks in a year and something to think about when you treat yourself to a sneaky bar.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of packaging, sharing chocolate is the biggest enemy of the environment. This is because there is so much more packaging on this type of sweet than on a single bar of chocolate.<\/p>\n<h2>A moment on the lips\u2026<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-999\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"162\" height=\"231\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/2018\/01\/17\/brewing-catastro-tea\/\">we ruined brews for you, and sandwiches<\/a> &#8211; are we really going to take away your enjoyment of chocolate too? Well, even the researchers aren\u2019t ready to suggest we stop eating the sweet treats.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Adisa Azapagic, head of the University\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sustainable-systems.org.uk\/\">Sustainable Industrial Systems<\/a>, says: \u201cIt is true that our love of chocolate has environmental consequences for the planet. But let\u2019s be clear, we aren\u2019t saying people should stop eating it.\u201d Instead, she hopes that the chocolate industry will start to target the parts of its supply chain responsible for the most damage, and take steps to make their products more sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of us love chocolate, but don\u2019t often think of what it takes to get from cocoa beans to the chocolate products we buy in the shop,\u201d Prof Azapagic adds. \u201cCocoa is cultivated around the equator in humid climate conditions, mainly in West Africa and Central and South America, so it has to travel some distance before it makes it into the chocolate products we produce and consume in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Chock-full of chocolate<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/03\/Easter-egg-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While bagged chocolate is the most problematic in terms of packaging, overall it\u2019s chocolate countlines \u2013 that\u2019s basically chocolate bars to you and me \u2013 that contribute the most to the UK\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions.
