Achieving Sustainability: FGN’s Flexitank Carbon Footprint Verification
What is Product Carbon Footprint Verification?
Product carbon footprint verification is a process that quantifies the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product throughout its lifecycle. This includes emissions from raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, and other stages up to the point where the product is ready for delivery, also known as “cradle to gate.”
ISO 14067:2018 Standard
The verification was conducted in accordance with the ISO 14067:2018 standard. This international standard specifies principles, requirements, and guidelines for the quantification and reporting of the carbon footprint of a product (CFP). It ensures that the assessment is accurate, transparent, and consistent with global best practices.
Our Flexitank’s Results
The lifecycle assessment of our 24,000-liter flexitank revealed total emissions of 157.62 kg of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent). This figure represents the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production of one flexitank, from the extraction of raw materials to the final product ready for delivery.
Why This Matters
Achieving this verification is a testament to our team’s ongoing efforts to minimize our environmental footprint. By understanding and quantifying our emissions, we can identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to reduce our impact further. This not only helps protect the environment but also aligns with the growing demand from consumers and businesses for more sustainable products.
Conclusion
We are excited to share this milestone with our customers, partners, and stakeholders. Together, we can make a significant difference in reducing our environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable world. We will continue to improve our sustainability efforts and share more updates on our initiatives as we work towards a better tomorrow.
