Assessment methodology

The balancing of the product or product line was carried out in accordance with the applicable Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Standard, whereby the approach was applied..Cradle-to-Grave

The term “cradle-to-grave” refers to the consideration of a product’s greenhouse gas emissions “from the cradle to the grave”, i.e. all life cycle phases are included, from the extraction of raw materials to the disposal of the product. This accounting approach should always be selected for a PCF that is a final product or an intermediate product for which the subsequent function in use is known.

reduction measures

Planned reduction measures

until 2024: Installation of photovoltaic system for electricity at the Oberlaindern production and administration site

until 2025: New packaging design (no plastic bags as climate protection)

until 2025: Search for suitable recycled raw materials rPET for film labels

The company is aware that greenhouse gas emissions must be avoided and reduced as far as possible. Offsetting by means of carbon credits shall only be perceived as an additional – if albeit vital – measure to achieve the 1.5°C target set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. The offsetting share must be gradually reduced in this context.

Offsetting

The company has acquired carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gas emissions as assessed.
