Carbon Footprint of Products
Carbon Footprint of Product
The carbon footprint icon on our packaging is the number that represents the quantity of carbon emissions for each product. We calculated starting from raw material extraction, transferring materials to the factory through production, and ending with the product ready to leave the factory gate. (From cradle to gate) We use the calculation method from the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization).
The Boundaries of a Carbon Footprint Calculation
From cradle to gate: This boundary considers all activities starting with raw material extraction, transferring materials to the factory, through production, and ending with the product ready to leave the factory gate.
From gate to gate: This calculation includes the amount of greenhouse gas released from the arrival of the raw materials at the factory, through production, ending with the product ready to leave the factory gate.
From cradle to grave: This method covers the whole life cycle of a product from raw material extraction and transfer to the factory, through production and consumption, to waste or discard.
What is a Carbon Footprint?
The amount of greenhouse gas that is released into the atmosphere by various human activities. Greenhouse gases cause global warming and affect all living things on Earth. Melting polar ice caps, flooding, and destroying ecosystems are just a few examples of the consequences of these toxic gases. PlanToys includes the Carbon Footprint number on our packaging as part of our commitment to responsible business practices, transparency, environmental awareness, and sustainability.
We are passionate about reducing our environmental impact. By minimizing the amount of greenhouse gas released during our toy production, we are playing a role in protecting Mother Earth and will inspire others to do the same!
