Product Carbon Footprints

Measure the carbon footprint of a product or packaging across its life cycle.

As we see Extended Producer Responsibility implemented across waste streams, understanding the full life cycle and carbon impact of your product and packaging has never been more important. Make informed decisions by understanding your products and packaging carbon footprint.

What is a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)?

A PCF measures the embodied carbon or greenhouse gas emissions associated with a service, product, or packaging across its life cycle. PCFs measure the global warming potential (GWP) which is reported as kilogram of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO2eq).

What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?

A LCA measures both the GWP and a range of other environmental impacts of a service, product, or packaging across its life cycle. Environmental impact can be measured through several indicators like water usage, land usage, human toxicity, eutrophication, and ecotoxicity (and many more).

Let our Resource Efficiency and Circularity team measure the carbon and environmental impact of your service, product, or packaging and gain confidence towards environmental declarations and product development.
