Carbon Mapping

SME Sustainability can help process of accurately calculating the carbon footprint of specific products and services through detailed Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). These days many customers are not just looking at the financial cost of a product or a service but also the carbon cost of that product or service. This could be from manufacturers data or calculated LCA or a combination of both.

SME Sustainability recently help calculate the footprint of a Data Tape erasure compared to traditional destruction methods and this showed a massive reduction in Carbon Footprint by either re using the tape or responsibly recycling it as opposed to destroying it. This was then used to Marketing to Demonstrate the difference in Carbon Cost of the services. LCA can be used to calculate the Carbon Cost for any product or Service to help promote your business as a truly green business.

The underpinning Methodology for any of this work would be aligned to ISO14040 and ISO14044, the international standards governing the investigation and evaluation of the environmental impacts of a given product over their lifecycle
