What is Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)?
PCF measures the total greenhouse gas emissions of a product across its entire lifecycle – from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Calculated using ISO14607 und EN 15804 LCA methodology, it is the core metric behind BR, EPD, CBAM and other major carbon regulations.
Challenges Addressed By Our Product Carbon Footpring Software
Complex Global Carbon Regulations
Battery Regulation (BR) mandates PCF reporting from 2026. EPD is required for supplying electrical equipment and construction materials to the EU and US. Without a compliance framework, market access is at risk.
Accelerating OEM Supply Chain Pressure
Global OEMs across automotive, mobile devices, and semiconductors are firmly requiring supply chain partners to submit PCF data – with growing strictness year over year.
Complexity of Data Collection Across Multi-Tier Supply Chains
Fragmented systems and limited shop-floor process data constrain digital transformation. When even Scope 1 & 2 data isn’t fully integrated, supply chain traceability becomes virtually impossible.
Structural Limitations of Manual Approaches
Reliance on external consulting, manual certification, and LCA expertise shortages drive high costs. One-off responses prevent carbon data accumulation and long-term competitiveness. This also hinders scalability.
