Product Carbon Footprint Calculation, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Reporting
ISO 14067:2018 is an international standard for calculating the carbon footprint of products throughout their life cycle (including raw materials, production, logistics, use and disposal stages). It works integrated with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 life cycle analyzes (LCA) and allows organizations to measure and report the environmental impacts of their products with numerical data.
| Stage | Activity Data | Emission Factor | Emission (kgCO₂e) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | 1 ton of plastic | 2.5 kgCO₂e/kg | 2.500 |
| Production | 10,000 kWh electricity | 0.42 kgCO₂/kWh | 4.200 |
| Transport | 20,000 km truck | 0.9kgCO₂/km | 18.000 |
| Use | 5 years energy consumption (500 kWh/year) | 0.42 kgCO₂/kWh | 1.050 |
| disposal | 1 ton of waste | 0.8kgCO₂/kg | 800 |
What is ISO 14067 certification?
It is the international standard for calculating the carbon footprint of products throughout their life cycle.
What is the difference between ISO 14067 and ISO 14064?
ISO 14064 calculates the carbon footprint of the organization, ISO 14067 calculates the carbon footprint of the product.
How long does the ISO 14067 consultancy process take?
It may take 2–3 months depending on the product life cycle data.
Which software is used in ISO 14067 reporting?
LCA-based software such as GaBi, SimaPro and OpenLCA are used.
ISO 14067 not only calculates the carbon footprint of products, but also adds strategic value to the sustainability journey of brands.
