Tools to help the agri-food industry improving its environmental performance whilst increasing the value of the products are highly needed. The present study proposes a new approach to calculate eco-efficiency that goes beyond the production costs, but accounts for the functional value of the foodstuff. Instead of using the monetary unit as the product value, we propose value-based metrics closer to consumer interests, such as content of functional nutrients, taste and abatement of harmful substances. The approach was applied to evaluate the eco-efficiency of de-acidified cranberry juice by two alternative technologies in Quebec: ion-exchange resin process and de-acidification by electrodialysis with a bipolar membrane. Both are compared to non-de-acidified cranberry juice. The parameters chosen to quantify cranberry juice are polyphenol content, product taste, and percentage of harmful acid removed. Results show ion-exchange resin de-acidified juice is less eco-efficient than non-de-acidified cranberry juice for polyphenol content and product taste indicator but shows better results for the removed harmful acid parameter. The electrodialysis with a bipolar membrane technology allows the extraction of organic acids in a usable form. We evaluated their re-utilization in four different contexts showing that this context choice might have a key impact on the eco-efficiency conclusion. The most eco-efficient scenario is the utilization of the removed acid in dried cranberry production with the addition of sugar beet. By using an approach closer to consumers' interests, eco-efficiency results can be more relevant for decision making in the context of cleaner production, particularly when the monetary value is not reliable. 000015252 540__ $$aincorrect 000015252 592__ $$aHEI-VS 000015252 592__ $$bInstitut Énergie et environnement 000015252 592__ $$cIngénierie et Architecture 000015252 6531_ $$9eng$$aeco-efficiency 000015252 6531_ $$9eng$$alife cycle assessment 000015252 6531_ $$9eng$$acranberry juice 000015252 6531_ $$9eng$$ade-acidification 000015252 6531_ $$9eng$$aeco-design 000015252 6531_ $$9eng$$acleaner production 000015252 655__ $$ascientifique 000015252 700__ $$aChaudron, Camille$$uCIRAIG, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada ; Universityé Laval, Québec, QC, Canada 000015252 700__ $$aFaucher, Mélanie$$uUniversité Laval, Québec, QC, Canada 000015252 700__ $$aBazinet, Laurent$$uUniversité Laval, Québec, QC, Canada 000015252 700__ $$aMargni, Manuele$$uCIRAIG, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada 000015252 773__ $$tJournal of Cleaner Production$$j2019, 232$$q391-399 000015252 8564_ $$uhttps://arodes.hes-so.ch/record/15252/files/Margni_2019_cost_is_not_enough.pdf$$yPublished version$$9c3e79ffe-d674-4bc9-9980-90450be41e25$$s2250312 000015252 906__ $$aNONE 000015252 909CO $$ooai:hesso.tind.io:15252$$pGLOBAL_SET 000015252 950__ $$aaucun 000015252 980__ $$ascientifique 000015252 981__ $$ascientifique
