Carbon footprint calculation analyzes all emissions generated throughout a product’s life cycle, including raw material extraction, production, transportation, usage, and disposal.

The most recognized methodologies are:

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
• ISO 14067
• PAS 2050

Digital tools like Dcycle simplify the process, providing accurate and actionable insights.

• ISO 14067 – Defines carbon footprint measurement for products.
• EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) – Environmental impact based on LCA.
• Cradle to Cradle (C2C) – Evaluates sustainability and circularity.
• LEED & BREEAM – Certifications for sustainable buildings.

• Construction – High emissions from cement and steel.
• Textile – Intense water usage and fiber production emissions.
• Food Industry – Large-scale agriculture and transportation impact.
• Transportation – Fossil fuel dependency in vehicles and aviation.

• Use recycled or low-emission materials.
• Optimize production processes to cut energy use.
• Shift to renewable energy sources.
• Improve transportation and logistics to reduce emissions.

Some strategies require initial investment, but long-term benefits outweigh costs.

• Energy efficiency lowers operational expenses.
• Material reuse and recycling reduces procurement costs.
• Sustainability certifications open new business opportunities.

Investing in carbon reduction is not just an environmental action, it’s a smart business strategy.
