The DFGE PCF Software

Product Carbon Footprint calculation simple, fast and GHG compliant

Knowing the current carbon footprint of products (PCF) is becoming increasingly important for companies. For the company-wide climate strategy and the transparent information of stakeholders. Above all, however, for their own product development, in which the aim is to optimize the manufacture of products with regard to the materials used, transport, waste materials and packaging in order to reduce CO2 emissions. For this purpose, we have developed the DFGE PCF Software. An easy-to-use tool that allows you to calculate the cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint easily, quickly and validly, even without extensive PCF expertise.

The DFGE PCF Software is the perfect extension of our product carbon footprint services when it comes to making products more sustainable “from cradle to factory gate”.
