Franplast measures the carbon footprint of its TPEs

Every product leaves a mark. Understanding it is the first step to reducing it. Sustainability is not just an objective: it is a method. These are the considerations underlying Franplast's decision to measure the product carbon footprint by analysing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout the entire production and life cycle of its thermoplastic elastomers, along the so-called "from cradle to gate" pathway. A concrete gesture that transforms commitment to sustainability into knowledge and knowledge into action.

In this way, environmental impact is translated into concrete figures to understand where and how to intervene to reduce it, providing a way to make visible what often remains invisible: the environmental weight of our daily and industrial actions.

The calculation was carried out in accordance with international standard ISO 14067:2018, guaranteeing transparency, scientific rigour and reliability of results. Measuring the carbon footprint for the company has therefore meant: transforming environmental commitment into measurable action; communicating clearly and transparently to customers and partners what really lies behind each product; paving the way for more sustainable innovations, rethinking materials and processes to minimise environmental impact. Every piece of data collected becomes a lever for change, since only by knowing the impact of each activity is it possible to intervene in a targeted manner to reduce it.

This achievement for the company represents the continuity of a journey: after calculating organisational GHG emissions, it now expands its vision to individual products, consolidating a strategy that places sustainability at the centre of every decision. Choosing a Franplast product means choosing quality, innovation and environmental awareness together: a concrete commitment that looks to the future and always starts from certain data based on measurement.
