Manage episode 367323169 series 2945316
Decarbonizing your products is necessary for large-scale carbon emissions reduction. In this episode, Tad and Julianna sit down with Michelle Bonanno, Vice President of Operations and Certification Officer at GreenCircle Certified, to discuss the different steps a company could take to reduce the carbon footprint of their products in the raw material and manufacturing stages, how to use Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to demonstrate the carbon footprint reductions from the original product to the new version, the types of renewable energy and carbon-free electricity that contribute to carbon footprint reduction in products, how a company can better understand if their product qualifies for a carbon footprint reduction of greater than 1%, what initiatives do not count toward product-level carbon footprint reductions, which third-party certifications highlight carbon footprint reductions in products, how carbon footprint reduction is represented on GreenCircle Certified Environmental Facts (CEF) Multi-Attribute labels, and more.
