Material use in Our Products and the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Further information can be found at: www.festo.com/material-compliance The reprocessing of aluminium briquettes offers great savings potential. Material use and the Product Carbon Footprint The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) indicates how many greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are produced throughout the entire life cycle of a product and where effective savings potential lies. PCF: From cradle to grate The PCF accounts for all GHG emissions generated during the manufacturing phase for materials, energy and transport from cradle to grate. We assess the use phase separately, as the emissions generated during this phase can vary depending on the product’s area of application. The PCF calculation method is currently being further developed. By using a more precise calculation method to represent the PCF in detail, down to the level of the part number, we want to provide our customers with greater data quality. Our goal is to gather this data for our entire product portfolio. Festo CO2e: A practical tool for our customers We initially developed Festo CO2e as a temporary solution with a simplified calculation method. This figure represents all the GHG emissions that are generated during the production process of a product. With the Festo CO2e, our customers can estimate what the share of Festo components in the CO2e footprint of their machines is. This practical tool can therefore help customers calculate their Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF). Sustainable product development Developing products right from the start with the lowest possible emissions is also part of our corporate strategy. Based on internal guidelines, we adhere to the following principles: – Product designs that save CO2e – Designs that save materials and selecting materials to save CO2e (e.g., recycled materials) – Maximum service life thanks to ease of repair and maintenance – Integrating CO2e reduction targets in the product development process – Avoiding critical and environmentally harmful ingredients 1.
