As a manufacturer, you want to reduce the carbon impact of a material
What is the carbon impact?
The carbon impact of a material, also known as its carbon footprint, is a measure of the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) generated throughout its life cycle. This measurement is essential for assessing the environmental impact of the materials used and produced by manufacturers.
Why analyse the carbon impact of a material?
Analysing the carbon impact of a material is essential for industries seeking to reduce their ecological footprint and promote the sustainability of their products. Understanding and quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the materials used in products and industrial processes offers many benefits. This approach to reducing the carbon impact of a material and the choice of materials for a sustainable engineering impact not only helps to meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations, but also improves operational efficiency and strengthens the company’s competitive position. In short, it contributes to building a more sustainable future for the company, the consumer and the planet.
