Product Carbon Footprint Explainer
We offer you the only DNV-certified calculation of product carbon footprint (PCF). In our calculations, we consider the entire emissions of our products according to the cradle-to-gate approach, i.e. from production to delivery to our customers' factory gates. We provide the data transparency you require to make informed decisions effectively.
Certified PCF calculations are required to fulfil reporting obligations under the the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and additional government regulations around carbon emissions. We can provide you with the relevant data you need as well as expert advice to maintain the highest levels of compliance.
Determining the product carbon footprint for parts and components is complex and costly and presents many companies with major challenges. We can support you with these projects as well.
Once all components of the finished product have been identified, we examine the entire procurement process "from cradle to gate, plus end of life" - from primary material and production to transportation, storage and delivery to you - with regard to the CO2 emissions generated.
The primary data collected in this way is then supplemented with information from licensed databases and processed by a TÜV-certified partner, enabling us to provide you with the exact CO2 footprint of your product.
Your benefit: You receive important data for your life cycle assessment and bring transparency to your entire supply chain.
To help you navigate the materials market, we have divided our product offering into three categories. They are based on the certified calculation of the actual product carbon footprint (PCF) from cradle-to-gate and are based on production processes.
These materials stand for the highest quality and decades of expertise. Production is ensured in proven large-scale plants and the material quality corresponds exactly to customer requirements.
These materials offer the highest quality of our Classic products combined with a clearly traceable CO2 reduction. These products offer a good balance between price and sustainability.
Our most advanced materials with the best possible CO2 reduction. The entire material know-how of thyssenkrupp Materials UK with the smallest possible CO2 footprint.
No matter where you are on your journey to greater sustainability, we can support you in making critical decisions. As a consulting service, for example, we work with you to examine your portfolio and identify optimisation potential and share specialist knowledge.
We jointly select an offsetting project from our partners and invest the corresponding amount of the CO2 value consumed. The projects are independently audited and vary in price depending on the subject area.
Your advantage: You make your company more sustainable and can label your parts and components as "climate neutral". This confirms that all CO2 emissions of the labelled service have been calculated and offset via recognised climate protection projects.
With the VCC Desk we give you the opportunity to purchase and trade voluntary carbon credit certificates.
