What did our Independent
Carbon Emissions Study find?
Our independent study investigated and
calculated both the carbon emissions (in kg
CO2 / 100 sq. m or kg of material) and the
safety margin offset levels for each of the peel
plies, plastic fabrics, textiles, vacuum bags,
release films and plastic fitting products in use.
The study, which followed a detailed “cradleto-customer plus end-of-life waste” life cycle
assessment (LCA) approach, was carried out
according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting
Standard (GHG Protocol). Both the primary and
secondary data from recognised sources was
used in the report analysis and output, with the
underlying emission factors being derived from
recognised independent LCA and integrated
system global emission modelling databases.

Emissions were taken into account according
to the following product lifecycle stages:
extraction and pre-processing of each
consumable’s raw materials and packaging,
production, and supply to factory gate, plus the
recycling or waste disposal emissions of the
consumable product and packaging.
The study included a +10% safety margin
allowance for each product type to ensure that
all ensuing emissions are fully offset within
acceptable boundaries. The summary table
shows the consolidated carbon emissions
calculated from all product lifecycles stages,
plus the offset values. The +10% offset value
for individual products are being used by
Aeronix Technologies to calculate exactly how
much offsetting is needed to be net zero.
