The calculation of the carbon footprint of a product can determine the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the product or service during its entire life cycle, and effectively manage and reduce them.
The life cycle of the product; it covers the entire process from the extraction of raw materials required for product production, to the use of the product by the end user, to the product life cycle and disposal.
Why product? Carbon Footprint and Life Cycle Assessment what?
Due to the carbon mechanism at the border, companies exporting to EU countries must conduct quarterly product carbon footprint and life cycle assessments.
Through the carbon mechanism at the border, a tax of about 45-75 euros on 1 ton of carbon dioxide is planned and will be implemented in 2023.
Before January 1, 2023, the product carbon footprint calculation infrastructure should be established and compared with the free distribution during the transition period.
There should be no inconvenience in improving the data collection system and the validation process until 1 January 2023.
Product carbon footprint and life cycle reports enable you to develop carbon reduction policies for your organization. You can benefit from the EU Green Fund for these projects.
in addition, product Carbon Footprint and Life Cycle Assessment will provide your agency and brand with the following advantages:
competitive advantage
potential to improve product quality
improve risk management
shaping the public image
increased market share, new business opportunities
supply Chain Management
EPD Certification-Enterprise carbon Footprint definition
standard 14064 details the principles and requirements for the design, development, management and reporting of GHG inventories at the enterprise or company level. It also includes requirements for setting greenhouse gas emission limits to improve greenhouse gas management, calculating the organization's greenhouse gas emissions and removals, and defining company-specific measures or activities.
Carbon footprint is a term used to describe the amount of carbon that a process emits into the atmosphere due to the production, transportation, heating, energy consumption or purchase of any raw materials and any products it produces.
Why choose corporate carbon footprint ( EPD Certification)?
Carbon footprint research will reduce the success and impact of environmental management, strengthen communication with the public and improve brand reliability.
It is an important environmental indicator step in sustainability research.
The provisions of the Paris Agreement, accepted and signed by the Turkish Grand National Assembly, include reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally and limiting global warming to at least 2 degrees, preferably 1.5 degrees, compared to pre-industrial levels. As a country, we as a party, it is necessary to analyze the current situation through calculations and reports to meet the carbon footprint commitments.
The fact that corporate carbon footprints are reported in businesses that plan to make them available to the public increases the stock market value.
If a loan from a financial institution is used, a corporate carbon footprint report is required.
Customers require corporate carbon footprint values in domestic and international sales of products.
CE certification provides a unified technical specification for the trade of products in the European market and simplifies the trade procedures. Products from any country must be CE certified to enter the EU, and the CE mark is affixed to the product. Therefore, CE certification is a passport for products to enter the EU and European Free Trade Zone countries.
CE certification indicates that the product has reached the safety requirements of the EU directive; it is a commitment of the enterprise to the consumer, which increases the trust of the consumer in the product; the product with CE mark will reduce the risk of sales in the European market. These risks include:
A. Risk of being detained and investigated by customs;
B. Risks of being investigated and dealt with by market surveillance agencies;
C. risk of being accused by peers for competitive purposes.
