Product Carbon Footprints
Empowering Sustainable Decisions at the Product Level
​
Product carbon footprints identify emissions ‘hotspots’ within a product’s life cycle and can help pinpoint target reduction areas.
By measuring the GHG emissions of products throughout its life cycle, a cradle-to-grave footprint can be developed, providing insights into emissions from products through all stages, from raw material extraction, production, manufacturing, distribution, use phase, to end-of-life and disposal.
