As Machado told us and Serrat sang, man leaves his footprint step by step. For years companies, as part of their corporate responsibility strategy (CSR), have been calculating their Corporate Carbon Footprint in order to contribute to the decarbonization of the planet. Now it is time to go a step further and calculate the Carbon Footprint of their Products and Services. But… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is product carbon footprint?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The carbon footprint of a product is a quantitative measure that indicates the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted during the entire life cycle of a product. This measure, like the carbon footprint in general, is measured in tons ofCO2<\/g> equivalent. Regulations and reference standards: Royal Decree 214\/2025, Law 11\/2018, European directive CSRD \/Omnibus, GHG Protocol, ISO 14067, PAS 2050. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From EHS Techniques we help you design the strategy to measure the carbon footprint of your product and calculate it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important to calculate the Carbon Footprint of a Product?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The importance of product carbon footprinting<\/strong> lies in its ability to provide a comprehensive and complete picture of a product’s environmental impact. This allows companies and consumers to make much more conscious decisions and their customers to incorporate the impact of their suppliers into their Scope 3 corporate carbon footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carbon footprint of a product represents <\/strong>the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated during its entire life cycle: from the extraction of raw materials, production, transportation, use and final disposal. Measuring it is not only a responsible environmental practice, but also a smart business strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
