Product Carbon Footprint

Product Carbon Footprint Assessment Services

Want to reduce product emissions and costs? ECG’s AI-powered carbon footprint assessments help you uncover climate impacts and compliance gaps.

Understanding your true Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) is the first step toward meaningful sustainability and compliance. ECG provides comprehensive Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) assessments that quantify total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the entire product life cycle—from raw material sourcing to end-of-life disposal. Our AI-driven approach ensures your analysis is accurate, cost-effective, and provides a clear roadmap for improvement.

What is a Product Carbon Footprint?

A product’s carbon footprint represents the total GHG emissions generated throughout its entire lifecycle. This analysis, known as a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), expresses emissions in CO₂ equivalents and offers a full picture of your product’s environmental footprint. This includes:

Raw material extraction
Manufacturing and production processes
Transportation and distribution
Consumer use phase
End-of-life disposal and recycling

Our Carbon Footprinting Methodology

ECG’s methodology delivers detailed insights while ensuring alignment with international and regional standards, including the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Cradle-to-Grave Life Cycle Assessment
We measure emissions across every stage of the product life cycle, enabling targeted environmental improvements.
AI-Powered Precision
Our AI-enhanced carbon accounting tools accelerate Life Cycle Assessment without compromising accuracy or completeness.
CBAM-Compliant Reporting
For exporters to the EU, we generate product carbon footprints that meet the CBAM’s specific accounting rules—distinct from PAS 2050 or ISO 14067—ensuring readiness for regulatory disclosures and future certificate obligations.

Why Measure Your Product’s Carbon Footprint?

Quantifying your product’s environmental impact provides critical business and compliance advantages:

Pinpoint Emission Hotspots & Save Costs
Identify the stages in your product life cycle with the highest emissions, enabling design and sourcing changes that reduce both carbon and cost.
Improve Product Sustainability by Design
Support eco-conscious design decisions by integrating Life Cycle data into material selection and manufacturing processes.
Build Brand Credibility and Transparency
Publicly reporting on product emissions signals a strong commitment to sustainability and responsible supply chains.
Mitigate Supply Chain Risk
LCA reveals hidden environmental risks, helping you address upstream impacts like resource scarcity, pollution, or regulatory exposure.
Support Claims with Science
Our carbon footprint assessments are based on global best practices, including standards from UNEP’s Life Cycle Initiative, ensuring defensible and credible results.
