3 Process Emissions Missing From Product Carbon Footprint Reports

A BOM can show what a product is made of, but it may not capture everything required to manufacture it. This blog explores three process-related emission sources that can be missed in PCF reports: process electricity, manufacturing utilities, and production losses. It explains why these inputs matter and how to include them within the defined PCF system boundary. Learn how a process-inclusive approach can provide a more complete view of manufacturing emissions.
