In our series on complex manufacturing: an explanation of how ReCarbonX Systems can build an accurate, real-time picture of the eco-footprint of a glass bottle (1:40).
The eco-footprint of a product is not as simple as many may think. For example, two simple and apparently identical glass bottles on a store shelf can differ greatly in the footprint they leave on our planet’s ecosystems.
Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA) will not show this difference when you, as a consumer, make your choice on which one to purchase.
When you, as a corporate leader, invest into sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, it’s critical to be able to demonstrate this to your customers in a trustworthy and understandable way.
Once value chain data is gathered, the ReCarbonX system builds a picture of each product’s exact carbon footprint, showcasing any product’s unique measures, like: water consumption, carbon emissions, energy use, organic produce, % of recycled plastic in the product, and comparison to industry averages.
