Assessment methodology

How ACBC calculated the figure, with the conditions stated for this model.

The assessment is based on

• Internationally recognised standards: the report shows the GHG Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard and the GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance
• Secondary data from scientific life cycle assessment databases (ecoinvent)
• ACBC's primary data

Analysis conditions

• The impact arising from raw materials does not include data regarding materials loss rates and wastage during production
• Road transport was the transport mode accounted for in the inbound logistics phase
• The impact attached to packaging does not include secondary packaging
• The impact attached to manufacturing is based on the approximate energy consumption per bag
• Ocean freight and road transport were the transport modes accounted for in the outbound logistics phase

Product Carbon Footprint methodology

• System boundaries: from raw materials to the end of life of the product, excluding the use phase.
• Data collection: product composition, suppliers and origin of materials.
• Component weighing: with Driwei and Bil2b Bombelli scales.
• Emission factors: derived from the composition of the components; where the literature does not cover a process, ACBC develops an internal estimation method.
• CO₂ impact calculation: including production waste; secondary data fill the gaps where direct data are missing.
• Results documentation: in an official report.

Focus on data collection

• ACBC aims at the highest possible data quality.
• It uses primary data when available, collected directly with the parties involved.
• It supports companies in collecting, documenting and comparing data.
• It reduces data gaps as far as possible.
• For unavoidable data gaps it suggests accounting for a 15% deviation of the PCF, so that the offset fully covers the emissions.
