When possible, CO2 emissions are reduced. For example, the transportation between Sri Lanka and the Netherlands occurs by boat, avoiding the use of planes and hence, an increase in CO2 emissions.
Additionally, jackfruit has a footprint of only 0.9 kg of CO₂ emissions for 1 kg of product. However, for the production of meat, up to 24kg of CO2 per kg are emitted.

When processing jackfruit, Rootzz minimises food waste as much as possible. The farming communities in Sri Lanka use the residual waste from jackfruit as compost, so that the farmers immediately reuse their waste.
No toxic materials are used in the manufacturing process of these products. The jackfruit trees are grown without artificial irrigation, pesticides, and herbicides.
Rootzz works with local entrepreneurs to see how they can support social initiatives. The farmers are FairTrade certified and guarantee good agricultural practices (GAP) and best cultivation methods. Aside from this, every year the farmers donate a house to an employee who has no shelter or little money, guaranteeing a more stable life with better living standards.
