Innovative tool for sustainable packaging choices

Product Carbon Footprint Calculator Launch

After intensive development behind the scenes, we proudly present the Product Carbon Footprint Calculator. With this advanced tool, VPK customers get a crystal-clear insight into the climate impact of their packaging. This way, you consciously make the most sustainable choice.  

Insight for responsible decisions  


The Product Carbon Footprint Calculator gives customers transparent and detailed information on the CO2 emissions of our packaging solutions. The tool supports customers in achieving their sustainability goals and facilitates the reporting of Scope 3 emissions.     

“Our customers attach increasing importance to reducing their carbon footprint. With this tool, we give them the necessary insights to make responsible decisions.”

How does the Product Carbon Footprint Calculator work?

Product Carbon Footprint Calculator
The Product Carbon Footprint Calculator is based on the Partnership for Carbon Transparency (PACT) methodology and is fully in line with the GHG Protocol and international ISO standards. By following the cradle-to-gate principle, the tool calculates the carbon intensity (PCF) of specific products in grams of CO2e per unit. This provides consistent and reliable data for environmental analyses.  

Internal teams within VPK carefully process the data and share the results via clear product sheets or comprehensive portfolio analyses, tailored to the needs of individual customers.  

A step forward in sustainability

The launch of this calculator is an integral part of VPK's broader sustainability strategy. VPK Group continues to pioneer transparency and emissions reporting, with the aim of supporting customers to identify and reduce their Scope 3 emissions. This joint effort contributes to the ambitious goal of being climate neutral by 2050.
