GRAFE's customer portal now offers a CO₂ calculator to verify the life cycle assessment

Increasing sustainability requirements demand information on the emission content of products

Sustainability requirements in plastics processing are constantly increasing and more and more customers are demanding proof of a product's eco-balance. For this reason, the GRAFE GROUP, Blankenhain, has been providing a CO₂ calculator for certifying the masterbatches or compounds ordered since the last update of its customer portal. This allows the CO₂ equivalent of greenhouse gases for each of the company's products to be calculated live and within a few seconds and downloaded as a PDF document.

„Our customers are increasingly demanding sustainability. We therefore feel obliged to be able to show them the emissions content of our products“, explains Manuel Klemm, Head of Internal Sales. „The certificate created contains the necessary data on the carbon footprint of our products and gives our customers the opportunity to calculate the environmental performance of their own products in the next step of the value chain. The values are based on the cradle-to-gate system limits in accordance with ISO 14040/44“, says Klemm.
