26WHAT IS A CARBON FOOTPRINT?Carbon footprint is used to describe the climate impact of a product over its entire life cycle.A calculation is made based on, e.g. type of material of the product, the energy used in manufacturing,transport, use phase and end-of-life handling.The carbon footprint should be used with care since it is a simplified study of a complex reality. Itdoes not describe the problem of plastics in the sea or use of chemicals and is dependent on factslike type of energy used and waste handling infrastructure.A plant-based product may theoretically reach a zero carbon footprint when only renewable energy isused in the chain. A fossil-based plastic does not have this potential.PRODUCTSFor packaging material the carbon footprint of theproduct is consistently lower than for the goodsthey protect. For plastic products, the transport istypically less than 10% of the overall footprint, alsowhen shipped from China to Europe.Calculations show that for Duni products for thesame use, bagasse and paper products have thelowest carbon footprint.RESEARCH BA-There are numerous studies that calculatethe carbon footprint according to theISO standard ISO 14044. There are databasesto give the average findings of thesestudies. The numbers shown are calculatedby an independent partner, South Pole.Carbon dioxide emissions from a Duni product life cycle are typically divided into:Raw materialsmanufacturingManufacturing offinished productTransport offinished productProductend-of-lifeRecyclability of Duni materials:PLABagassePSPE, PP,PETLowRecyclabilityHighRecyclabilityCoated Paper& CardboardUncoated Paper,Cardboard,Grass Paper
27DISCOVER OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT TOOLFor more than a decade we have been constantly improving our offer of more sustainable packaging, withthe goal of lowering our carbon footprint. We are focused on the larger picture of a product’s life cycle.Part of the focus will be on developing the material of the product, plant-based alternatives and resourceefficiency, for example. The other part of the focus will be on different end-of-life options, compostingis an example when it’s a relevant alternative. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve andinnovate the full life cycle of our products so that the beginning and end of the life cycle are in line withmore sustainable solutions.We help you with the calculation of your carbon footprint for your take-away packaging choice, alsoconsidering different end-of-life options depending on different recycling streams in your country.Get in contact with us if you would like help with figures to be used in communication withyour customers.Contact us formore infoCO2-calculator@duni.comCarbon Footprint of Duni materials:BagasseGrass Paper rPETPE,PPGreen PE1 kg CO2/kgMaterial5 kg CO2/kgMaterialWoodPaper &CardboardPSPLA
