PUReLCA® calculates the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies in line with recognised standards. The tool considers:
- Raw materials used: The environmental impact of polyols, isocyanates, additives, and other substances & consumables used in PU foam production.
- Transportation: The environmental impact of logistics method used to deliver raw materials to a manufacturing plant, including any ingredient packaging.
- Production process: Energy consumption, emissions, and waste generated during manufacturing.
