With the global resources and environmental problems becoming more and more prominent, the idea of systematic, global and whole-process life cycle has become the basic basis for formulating various green environmental protection policies. After entering fifteen, the idea of life cycle frequently appeared in our government’s policy documents, including the “13th five-year plan for ecological and Environmental Protection”, “Made in China 2025”and so on are clearly proposed to strengthen the product life cycle of green management. As a result, Life cycle assessment (Lca) and Environmental product declaration (EPD) and Carbon footprint (CFP) based on LCA are rapidly developing into the current national green manufacturing system construction and green building materials assessment certification, and the technical support of green building evaluation.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a comprehensive disclosure of the environmental impacts of a product’s entire life cycle verified by a third party, scientifically and internationally recognized by Kobe Bryant. It does not evaluate products in a complex way, and it does not compare or compare products. It helps buyers and consumers better understand the sustainability and environmental impact of products.
The carbon footprint (CFP) , which indicates the “Carbon footprint”of a company, household or individual, is a new measure of the environmental impact of a company, household or individual’s carbon dioxide emissions from daily energy consumption. In short, a carbon footprint is “The total amount of greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly caused by an individual, organization, activity, or product.”Determining your carbon footprint is the first step in reducing your carbon footprint, and can set the baseline for the organization to improve the status of emission reduction.
The significance of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and carbon footprint to enterprises:
1. To meet the expectations of customers, effectively respond to international green trade barriers, promote the export of enterprises. With the Promotion of green and low-carbon industry, more and more countries and regions require suppliers to provide their products of EPD, carbon footprint assessment report;
2. Improve corporate reputation, strengthen brand building, reflect social responsibility. Corporate efforts to address climate change will enhance corporate reputation by demonstrating corporate social responsibility to reduce environmental impacts;
3. Reduce enterprise cost, tap the potential of energy saving and emission reduction, help enterprises to achieve sustainable development. Product carbon footprint is a tool to show greenhouse gas emission in product life cycle. It can clearly show the mitigation and improvement of high environmental cost of products, and can find the potential of reducing financial cost and environmental cost for enterprises.
Since the construction of the national carbon emission trading system was launched, guocai has been committed to the research work on carbon emissions, continuously enhancing the scientific research capacity in the low-carbon field, and has accumulated leading industry experience and technical strength, and with the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) , carbon footprint (CFP) accounting and verification of the technical capacity for the ultimate double-carbon goal to contribute!
