Product carbon footprint (PCF) is the total of a product's direct and indirect carbon emissions across its entire life cycle. During the stages of the production process, distribution, use, and disposal/recycling, each product emits a certain quantity of CO2 into the environment. By assessing PCF, investors, consumers, and regulators may better their investment/consumption/policy decisions using data.
Life-cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool for measuring the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product's life cycle, from raw material extraction to production, use, and disposal. It combines quantitative data from different sources to identify and assess the potential environmental effects of various activities. The main purpose of LCA is to enable businesses to reduce their environmental impact and improve their sustainability performance.
TRAINING COURSES
ISO 14040/44 Life Cycle Assessment Training Program
The main purpose of LCA is to enable businesses to reduce their environmental impact and improve their sustainability performance. This course will provide an introduction to the International Standards Organisation (ISO) 14040 and14044, which promote environmental management through life-cycle assessment (LCA).
ISO 14067: 2018 Product Carbon Footprint Lead Implementer course
The objective of this course is to introduce the concept of "Product Carbon Footprint" to senior management and executives, who will benefit from learning the fundamentals to calculate a product's lifecycle emissions, which is a crucial first step in creating sustainable products.
Product Carbon Footprint and Life Cycle Assessment Services
Our PCF validation and/or verification activities ensure quality and trust, which can boost sales and improve business at scale. Even as you enter new market segments with novel products, customers can be convinced of the environmental quality of your product through our industry leading third-party assessment. If your company is unsure whether a PCF assessment is sufficient to make your products more environmentally friendly or sustainable, you can opt for a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). As this is a more comprehensive solution that includes but isn’t limited to GHG emissions, your company can better quantify further potential environmental impacts of your product’s life cycle and make more informed decisions to reduce such potential environmental impact.
