Vergleichende Produktfußabdrücke
– Gegenüberstellung der Emissionen mehrerer Produkte

Mit vergleichenden Produktfußabdrücken (PCFs) erhalten Sie eine detaillierte CO₂e-Bilanz mehrerer Produkte, um deren Emissionen gezielt zu vergleichen. Dabei werden die Emissionen entlang der gesamten Lebenszyklusphasen analysiert. Dieser Vergleich ermöglicht es, Reduktionspotenziale zu identifizieren sowie Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeiten für eine nachhaltigere Produktgestaltung abzuleiten.

Your advantages of the comparison
of product footprints

  1. Further development of existing products: By comparing the CO₂e footprints, you can identify optimization potential and make your products fit for the future.
  2. Sound basis for decision-making: The transparent analysis shows strengths, weaknesses and disproportionate emissions – ideal for sustainable product development and strategic purchasing decisions.
  3. Cost and resource savings: Products with reduced emissions often mean lower material and energy consumption, which reduces costs in the long term.

    Your way to
    comparative PCFs

    Step 1

    Kick-Off

    We start by clarifying your expectations and objectives. Together we define the system boundaries for the calculation and provide an introduction to the topic. We also present the data entry mask for the PCF calculation to ensure structured data collection.

    Step 2

    Data acquisition

    In this step, we jointly compile all the relevant data and information for calculating the PCFs. Through regular coordination meetings, we ensure that the data collection is complete and accurate.

    Step 3

    Accounting

    Based on the data collected, we create the CO₂e balances for the products. As early as this phase, we identify initial derivations and optimization potential, which serve as the basis for further analyses.

    Step 4

    Result and outlook

    Finally, we present the results, identify hotspots with the highest emissions and discuss possible reduction potential. This result serves as an ideal starting point for a decarbonization strategy and the targeted further development of sustainable products.

    Frequently asked questions,
    that we answer

    As a rule, a carbon footprint is created according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. However, EDPs (Environmental Product Declarations), PCRs (Product Category Rules) or industry standards can also serve as a template. The focus here is on CO2e emissions.

    The calculation of product footprints (PCFs) comprises various life cycle phases, which we define together. Depending on the objective and system boundary, the following phases can be taken into account:

    • Extraction of raw materials
    • Processing raw materials into intermediate products
    • Manufacture of the product
    • Distribution
    • Utilization
    • Disposal and recycling

    The calculation of product carbon footprints (PCFs) is becoming increasingly important as companies have to record and report their emissions along the entire supply chain. Customers and suppliers are increasingly demanding transparent CO₂e data in order to achieve sustainability targets and meet regulatory requirements. A PCF makes it possible to identify emission drivers, derive reduction measures and strengthen competitiveness through sustainable product design.
