Product Carbon Footprint: Comprehensive Review

As sustainability increasingly enters the radar of individuals, institutions, and governments, the concepts in this field deserve a deeper understanding. One of these concepts is "product carbon footprint"

This metric, which is at the core of measuring the environmental impact of a product we use every day, signifies much more than just a numerical value. So what exactly does this concept mean, why is it important, and how is it calculated?

In this article, we will examine everything you need to know about product carbon footprint, in detail with a focus on sustainability.

What is Product Carbon Footprint?

The product carbon footprint (Product Carbon Footprint - PCF) represents the total greenhouse gas emissions throughout the processes a product goes through from "raw material to disposal/recycling back to raw material"—in other words, from cradle to grave. Some authorities also express this perspective as the "cradle-to-grave carbon footprint." This value is generally expressed as "kg CO₂e / unit product."

When calculating a product's carbon footprint, the ‘life cycle’ approach is used. This approach is primarily encountered in “Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)” processes. However, the product carbon footprint concept is also evaluated within the scope of this approach. 

An important point not to be overlooked is that, although LCA and product carbon footprint utilize the same methodology, they differ in scope and focus.

LCA and Product Carbon Footprint: Differences and Similarities

The Life Cycle of a Product

The life cycle, in its simplest form, includes all processes of products from "raw material to waste disposal." The categorization depends on which parts of the product's life cycle the intended analysis will cover.

  • Cradle to Gate: Indicates the process of a product from its raw material state to leaving the production facility.

  • Cradle to Grave: As the name suggests, it describes the process of a product from its raw material state to the waste disposal phase.

  • Cradle to Cradle: Refers to the process of a product from its raw material state to waste and then to recycling back to raw material, from a circular economy perspective.

Why Are Product Carbon Footprint Analyses Done?

Product carbon footprint calculations are primarily planned and performed with 4 objectives or various variations of these aims in mind.

Corporate Sustainability

The 'corporate carbon footprint' data calculated and reported within the framework of ISO 14064 is one of the most detailed and complex parts, the emissions analyzed in ‘scope-3’ within the supply chain.

The carbon footprints of products produced by institutions are also calculated among these supply chain emissions. Conducting product carbon footprint calculations is critical for a compliant corporate carbon footprint statement.

Compliance with Regulations

While there are currently no direct regulations regarding product carbon footprint globally, various product carbon footprint variations, such as CBAM, do have regulations.

In this context, product carbon footprint calculations also bring about compliance with regulations such as CBAM.

In the future, special regulations for purely product-focused emissions are also highly anticipated.

Consumer Behavior Compatibility

With the increase in both the world's production capacity and awareness in sustainability, consumer habits may shift towards low carbon emission products.

Carbon Pricing

Due to various regulations expected to come into force in the future, it is likely that products with high carbon footprints will become more costly.

For example; while CBAM regulations may not directly increase a product's price, 'carbon taxes' could impose an additional financial burden on the producer.

How is the Product Carbon Footprint Calculated?

Various reference standards are used when calculating a product's carbon footprint:

Of these standards, ISO 14067 was specifically developed for product carbon footprint and is the most popular and reliable standard in this field.

ISO 14067

ISO 14067 provides both calculation and reporting standards for product carbon footprint. It derives directly from the ISO 14044 standards used as LCA methodology.

ISO defines the 14067 standards as “a product carbon footprint assessment methodology based solely on global warming potential (GWP) according to ISO 14044:2006.”

LCA and ISO 14044 examine the environmental impacts of a product in multiple categories. The product carbon footprint and ISO 14067, on the other hand, offer a deeper and more detailed study focused solely on emissions compared to LCA.

Calculations of product carbon footprint are carried out in 4 steps within the framework of ISO 14067:

  1. Goal and Scope Definition ( Goal & Scope )

  2. Inventory Analysis ( LCI - Life Cycle Inventory )

  3. Impact Assessment ( LCIA - Life Cycle Impact Assessment )

  4. Interpretation ( Interpretation )

Although the processes are normally presented sequentially, the ‘interpretation’ phase does not have to be last when calculating product carbon footprint. As the scope of the calculations expands and deepens, continuously interpreting the resulting data and outcomes may be more reliable and efficient.

ISO 14067 Aşamaları
  1. Goal and Scope Definition ( Goal & Scope )

As the name suggests, this phase defines the project's purpose and the strategy for progress. At this stage, the product/service being analyzed is determined. Subsequently, it is decided which part of the product and which phases of its life cycle will be analyzed. 

2.   Inventory Analysis ( LCI )

This phase involves data collection and listing. After deciding which data will be collected in the previous phase, data is collected and listed here.

This listing is done in a format called ‘resource flow’. All the stages the product goes through in its life are listed as a flow and detailed within themselves.

During this analysis, inputs such as raw material usage and energy consumption, and outputs such as emission data are gathered.

As this is the most complex and error-prone part of the entire process, companies may prefer to use a platform or work with a consultant at this stage.

3.   Impact Assessment ( LCIA )

In the first phase, what and how to learn was determined. In the second phase, data were collected and listed in a certain structure. In this phase, the collected emission data are converted to ‘CO₂e’ type. Afterward, it is examined how much emission the product caused at which stage.

4.   Interpretation ( Interpretation )

As mentioned, the interpretation process should ideally be conducted in parallel at every stage and not just at the end. However, it would be quite misleading to define this phase only as a ‘summary’. In this phase, all methods used in previous phases are re-evaluated, and all data used is verified.

In this phase, the processes that emit the most emissions are identified. Later, these processes are evaluated to discuss which parts can be improved.

Possible Use Cases After Product Carbon Footprint Analysis

After conducting a study compliant with ISO 14067 standards, there are generally 3 different levels of usage for institutions. These areas may require 3rd party verification based on their internal requirements.

Internal Use

This refers to institutions using their analyses for internal evaluations. Although the reliability of the calculations is significant for creating action plans, no verification is required as there is no statement.

Institutions can use product carbon footprint analyses to:

  • Optimize production processes.

  • Deeply examine supply chain processes.

  • Develop emission reduction efforts.

Transparency and Communication Purposes

This refers to institutions presenting their analyses to customers and stakeholders for various purposes. This requires 3rd party verification due to the public disclosure situation.

  • Consumer-Targeted Labeling: Having the unit carbon footprint stated on a product.

  • Corporate Stakeholder Notification: Reports to stakeholders may include product carbon footprint analyses.

  • Publishing on Websites and Catalogs: Institutions can publish product carbon footprint analyses on various platforms for prestige purposes, similar to the reasons mentioned above.

PCF Etiket

Statement for Regulations

Organizations can conduct and publish product carbon footprint analyses to comply with various regulations. Since this disclosure is made to official institutions, 3rd party verification is mandatory, although it may not be required depending on the content of the regulations.

  • CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism): Although CBAM is narrower in scope than the product carbon footprint, product carbon footprint analyses contain all the data required by CBAM.

  • Eco-Label or EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) labeling systems can be applied.

Product Carbon Footprint and Future Evaluation

Up to this point, we have discussed what product carbon footprint calculations are, their purpose, how the process progresses, and their areas of use. 

So, where will product carbon footprint evolve in the future? What should be done to adapt to this rising trend of environmental sustainability?

Although there are currently no specific regulations regarding product carbon footprint, certain variations of regulations do exist. CBAM is one of the most popular versions among these regulations. In the future, much more comprehensive and complex regulations may knock on institutions’ doors.

  • Labeling obligations: Currently, some governments and corporate structures recommend that carbon emission labeling be done for products. With the ease of managing product carbon footprint processes, the emergence of official regulations for carbon emission labeling on products is not a far-fetched scenario.

  • Supply chain management: Nowadays, supply chain emissions are the largest source of emissions for most institutions. These emissions examined within ‘scope-3’ of ISO 14064 may be overlooked in calculations due to insufficient data and complicated processes. There is ongoing discussion among authorities regarding a regulation based on product carbon footprint for the transparency and reliability of supply chain emissions in the upcoming period.
