Get started with your Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)

Many companies are focused on calculating the carbon footprint of their products. This may be due to regulations like CSRD or GHG, or due to customer demand. Carbon is an important factor, but is only one of several environmental impacts that need to be measured to calculate your environmental footprint. Ecochain can give you the data you need to measure your carbon footprint and also help you go beyond carbon, so that you have a future-proof solution.

What do you need to get started with a PCF

Access to secondary impact data

If you have have access to CO2 impact information of your products, great! If not, you should be able to rely on software that provides you with secondary impact data.

 

 

Instant product carbon footprints

Insights are more powerful when you have them instantly. You need to armed with a solution that gets you a PCF in minutes rather than months.

 

Cost-effectiveness

A Product Carbon Footprint shouldn’t be expensive. You need access to a solution that can get you a PCF for a fraction of the cost when compared to expensive consultancy or legacy software.

 

 


How Ecochain Mobius can help

 

Create
Model your product and its impact
Create your complete product inventory in Ecochain Mobius. Tap into the various environmental databases we offer, like Ecoinvent, by linking the product’s impact to appropriate datasets. Choose the scope of your LCA and assess the impact of your product—right from the materials and components to processes involved in the manufacturing process.

 

 

Measure
Zoom in on the hotspots
Once you model your products, dive into the impact each phase creates. You don’t need a magnifying glass to see the major contributors to your product’s environmental impact. Ecochain Mobius highlights the hotspots for you to assess and change if necessary.

 

Compare
Compare different products and scenarios
Incorporate iterations in your product design process. Substitute materials in your products’ composition and see if it has a lower or higher impact. You can also compare two products in your portfolio to see which one is more sustainable.

 

Share
Share it with your team
Download your product’s inventory as a csv file or convert your results into a comprehensive xls file, showing all the impact categories in an overview. With Ecochain Mobius, you can get your product carbon footprint data as a beautiful PDF instantly. You can then share it with the world!

F.A.Q.

  • What’s included in the Mobius 14-day free trial?

    The free trial allows you to find out how Mobius works. Scenarios can be built, impact datasets can be found in the LCI databases (e.g. Ecoinvent 3.8), questions can be asked to experts, and you can learn how to model and adjust a full life cycle for you product. The trials functions as a free training to learn more about LCA and environmental impact measurements. Start creating LCAs in an easy way.

    The features are the same as for the paid Mobius version(s). The only difference is the #datasets you can take from our impact (LCI) database Ecoinvent. This holds a maximum of 20 datasets in the free trial.

  • What kind of support can I get during the trial?

    Each trial includes 2×30 minute calls with one of our experts. Additionally, we have recorded several tutorial videos that give our users more information about how the tool works- and what exactly you can do with it. You can find them in our Help Center.
