ClimatePartner combines more than a decade of consulting experience with easy-to-use software, to help its clients understand the carbon footprint of their products throughout their value chain.
Calculating product carbon footprints
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculations consider the entire life cycle of a given product. This means you would delve into the raw materials that make up your product, how its manufactured, transported, used and disposed of. At ClimatePartner, we carry out a cradle-to-grave or “cradle-to-customer and end of life” analysis depending on the relevance of the usage phase for a product.
A product carbon footprint is relevant to your business if you’d like to understand the impact of individual products you produce, how product design choices can reduce carbon emissions, benchmark individual ingredients and raw materials against one another, set specific reduction targets based on tangible initiatives, and/or if you wish to offer carbon neutral products.
What can I expect from a product carbon footprint?
- A holistic understanding of your product’s impact on global warming
- Identification of emissions hotspots and where your investments can yield the greatest impact
- Ability to offset the unabated emissions to make your products carbon neutral
