Design Low-Carbon Products From the Very Beginning
Create Product Carbon Footprints already in the design phase and compare alternative materials, processes and sourcing scenarios.
Sustamize enables product design teams to integrate emissions data into engineering decisions. By combining high-quality CO₂e data with automated PCF calculation tools.
The Challenge for Product Designers

Most Impact Is Locked in Product Design
Up to 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase. However, product teams often lack access to reliable emissions data when selecting materials or defining manufacturing processes.
Complex PCF Calculations
Manual LCA or PCF calculations require sustainability expertise and significant effort, slowing down development cycles. Sustamize simplifies this process by providing structured CO₂e data and automated PCF tools.
Missing Carbon Data
Product teams rarely have access to emissions data when evaluating materials or production methods early in development. Without carbon data, product teams struggle to evaluate the climate impact of new design concepts.
Regulatory Pressure
Product teams must ensure that products meet emerging sustainability regulations such as CSRD, ESPR and DPP. This requires considering carbon impact and environmental performance already during the design phase.
Solution for
Product Design
Integrate carbon intelligence directly into product development workflows.
The sustamize database provides access to one of the largest CO₂e reference databases, including emissions data for materials, manufacturing processes, energy and logistics. Designers can quickly evaluate alternative materials that reduce product emissions.
Leverage extensive emissions data to support sustainable design decisions.
• Identify carbon hotspots early in product development
• Compare alternative materials and production processes
• Design products with lower environmental impact
• Support eco-design and sustainable innovation
• Prepare Product Carbon Footprints for reporting and compliance
By integrating carbon data into early design stages, companies can prevent late-stage adjustments driven by sustainability requirements.
This reduces development cycles, minimizes rework, and accelerates time-to-market while ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Sustamize provides product designers reliable emissions data and automated PCF calculation tools to integrate sustainability directly into the design process.
By enabling early carbon analysis and scenario comparisons, product teams can develop lower-carbon products while maintaining cost and performance targets.

Frequently Asked Questions for Product Design
Make sustainability a core design parameter.
Why is product design important for reducing carbon emissions?
A large share of a product’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase. Decisions about materials, manufacturing processes and suppliers directly influence the product’s carbon footprint and long-term sustainability.
What is a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) in product development?
A Product Carbon Footprint measures the greenhouse gas emissions generated across a product’s lifecycle, including materials, manufacturing processes and logistics. For product designers, PCF insights help evaluate the environmental impact of design choices early in development.
Why is carbon data rarely available during the design phase?
Product teams often lack structured emissions data for materials, manufacturing processes and supply chains during early development. As a result, sustainability assessments are frequently performed only after the design is finalized.
How can product designers compare the carbon impact of different materials?
By combining engineering data with emissions data for materials and manufacturing processes, product teams can compare design alternatives and evaluate how material choices affect a product’s carbon footprint.
What role does eco-design play in sustainable product development?
Eco-design focuses on reducing environmental impact during product development by optimizing materials, manufacturing processes and product lifecycle performance. Integrating carbon data helps teams identify lower-impact design options early.
How does sustamize support sustainable product design?
Sustamize provides access to structured CO₂e reference data and automated PCF calculation tools. This allows product teams to evaluate the carbon impact of materials, components and manufacturing processes directly during the design phase.
Can carbon footprints be calculated before production starts?
Yes. Using emissions data for materials, energy and manufacturing processes, product teams can estimate Product Carbon Footprints during the design phase to support early decision-making.
How does carbon-aware design support regulatory compliance?
Sustainability regulations such as CSRD, ESPR and Digital Product Passports increasingly require product-level environmental data. Integrating carbon analysis during design helps ensure products are prepared for future reporting and compliance requirements.
