PCF calculation requires data on raw materials, energy use, transport, and end-of-life processing.
A comprehensive PCF assessment relies on accurate data from multiple stages of the product lifecycle. This includes information on raw material extraction, energy and fuel consumption, transportation emissions, manufacturing processes, and disposal or recycling methods. Collecting high-quality primary data from suppliers is ideal, but where gaps exist, secondary data from databases can be used. Sustamize provides access to high-resolution emissions datasets, ensuring that businesses can conduct precise PCF calculations with minimal effort.
