A product carbon footprint refers to the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted directly or indirectly during the lifecycle of a product. This footprint considers various phases, from raw material extraction, manufacturing, and transportation to use and end-of-life disposal or recycling. It is usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2e) to account for the varying global warming potential of different greenhouse gases. Understanding the carbon footprint of a product helps businesses and consumers make informed decisions for reducing their environmental impact. Companies often use this information to improve their processes, making them more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Consumers may also use these footprints to choose products that align with their values and preferences for sustainability. Various methods and tools are available for calculating product carbon footprints, such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and specialized software solutions. These methods follow standards like ISO 14040 and ISO 14067, which provide guidelines on conducting a comprehensive analysis.
