Perstorp is aligning with the new industry standard for product carbon footprint (PCF), developed by the industrial initiative Together for Sustainability. Perstorp can already provide product carbon footprint values for about 85% of its products (based on sales volume), and is continuously adding more products.
The focus on product carbon footprint is increasing, in line with the emerging emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions and sharing carbon footprint at a product level. Perstorp currently has product carbon footprint values for more than 80 products. These values are updated annually, based on production plant-specific conditions. All the PCF values for Perstorp ́s Pro-Environment products are ISCC PLUS certified.
Carbon footprint data is central for companies working towards CO2 emission reduction targets, and for making informed decisions by comparing the footprint of different products. To enable companies further down the value chains including brand owners to make carbon footprint calculations of their individual products, it is crucial that the chemical industry can provide this data for their products, which in turn are raw materials used in thousands of end products.
“Transparently sharing this type of information with our customers is an important part of being a sustainable solutions provider and serving value chain needs,” said Anna Berggren, VP sustainability at Perstorp.
