Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator Baseline the carbon footprint of Avient solutions Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Explained

Home // Reduce Carbon Footprint by Replacing Traditional Materials Each year humans put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can remove, amplifying Earth’s natural greenhouse effect. The new materials also offer sustainability benefits over the product lifecycle through carbon footprint reductions compared to competitive materials—PK base resin production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.

Carbon Footprint Infographic Downstream COMMON TERMINOLOGY Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e): A common way to measure and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) Emission Standards: The classification of emissions across the supply chain Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by an organization (e.g., company-owned vehicles, process emissions, and on-site heating) Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased indirect sources, such as the production of electricity and steam for an organization’s use Scope 3: Indirect emissions from sources up and down the supply chain, including materials, transportation of goods, and the processing, use, and end-of-life treatment of sold products Cradle-to-Gate: Carbon impact of a product from raw materials and product manufacturing Cradle-to-Grave: Carbon impact and analysis across the entire life cycle of a product from raw materials to disposal © 2023 Avient • www.avient.com • 1.844.4AVIENT Raw Materials Supply Chain UNDERSTANDING CARBON FOOTPRINT CO2e Transportation End-of-Life Treatment Processing of Goods Use of Products Transportation Chemical Processing Cradle-to-Gate (B2B) Cradle-to-Grave (B2C) SCOPE 3 INDIRECT SCOPE 3 INDIRECT Electricity Steam Company Facilities Company-Owned Vehicles SCOPE 1 DIRECT SCOPE 2 INDIRECT Reporting CompanyUpstream
