Refined sugar
One kilogram of refined white sugar
This page shows what the product is made of and where each figure comes from. It shows no death toll. The toll is computed from this bill of materials from session 19, and published only once it has an uncertainty interval and has passed a backtest.
Refined white sugar from sugar beet at France's rates: raw sugar is 15% of the beet and refined sugar 92% of the raw. The register's sugar is cane and beet together, in tonnes of the crop. Processing energy is not included.

What it is made of
Each line is one component of one kilogram of refined white sugar: how much of it goes in, how much had to be produced for that, and where the figure comes from.

Down to raw materials
The whole chain multiplied out — everything one kilogram of refined white sugar needs, through every intermediate product, with every loss on the way included.
| Input | Per functional unit |

| Sugar | 7.25 kg |
An input marked “not in the register” is counted by mass and reaches no supply chain yet. Industries appear as the euros or tonne-kilometres the bill of materials gives them.
How much of it is explicit
100% of this product’s mass is explicit in its own bill of materials.
Its whole chain draws on 7.25 kg of materials, losses included. 100% of that is registered raw materials — the part the model can trace harm to — 0% is inputs not yet in the register, and 0% is a declared remainder.
In the input–output model it belongs to “Manufacture of food products; beverages and tobacco products” (FIGARO industry C10-12).
In the input–output model it belongs to “Manufacture of food products; beverages and tobacco products” (FIGARO industry C10T12).
What uses it
Products whose own bill of materials includes this one.
- Chocolate bar — 44.5 g in one 100 g bar of dark chocolate, unwrapped
- Croissant — 5.00 g in one butter croissant as made — 123 g of dough — with its 3 g of packaging
The number this page does not show
The harm in this chain is not shown.
The model allocates the harm counted where each raw material is produced to the products that use it. That number is a count of people with a run behind it and no uncertainty interval yet, and nothing of that kind is published before the backtest of session 21. What this page can show without it is the structure: what the product is made of, and where each part of that knowledge comes from.
