The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the life cycle of a product, including the extraction of raw materials to its end of life. By mapping emissions at each stage of the product life cycle, companies can identify opportunities to optimize resource use, reduce waste and implement more sustainable practices. This process not only contributes to reducing environmental impact, but can also generate significant savings in operational costs and improve process efficiency, strengthening competitiveness in the global market.
Furthermore, transparency and effective communication of the PCF can considerably improve a company's reputation with consumers and investors. The European Commission promotes several initiatives, such as the Green Deal Industrial Plan, which encourage the transition to climate neutrality. In this context, the PCP becomes a strategic tool for companies that seek not only to comply with standards, but also to stand out in the market.
Entusian carries out Product Carbon Footprint studies in accordance with the standard most suited to each company's objectives, such as ISO 14067, PAS 2050, GHG Protocol or PEF. The results are obtained from the SimaPro software and databases containing up-to-date, high-quality emission factors.
