Decarbonization through data: The Product Carbon Footprint calculator
Decarbonization as a goal
Against the backdrop of growing legal and social expectations, ecological impacts must be measurably reduced. The decarbonization of products and production processes is coming into focus.
In addition to product characteristics and economic conditions, the ecological footprint of a product is playing an increasingly central role. Sustainable business practices are becoming a competitive advantage.
Reliable information about the ecological impact of products is becoming increasingly important. The goal is to sustainably improve the product carbon footprint in material and product management.
That is why Technoform offers a calculation method for sound accounting of the product carbon footprint (PCF).
What is a product carbon footprint calculator?
The product carbon footprint (PCF) is a method for assessing the climate impact of a product. Technoform has developed a product carbon footprint calculator to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions of products.
The calculator is used for material and product management. It enables concrete statements to be made about the climate impact of the products developed with the customer and serves as a basis for information for carbon reduction management.
Achieving positive climate effects
“Technoform's consulting services are enhanced by the calculation of an important ecological aspect. This allows the positive climate effect of adding recycled material to be quantified, particularly during the material selection phase of product development. The calculations are product-specific and are performed in accordance with international standards (GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard and ISO 14067).”
