Product Carbon Footprint (PCF)
Our Product Carbon Footprint (PCF): Making Responsibility Visible – Product by Product
Climate protection starts with the details – with each and every product. That’s why HUCK Seiltechnik has reached an important milestone: Together with the experts from Five Glaciers Consulting, we have calculated the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for around 250 of our products. This not only creates transparency, but also provides targeted impulses for more climate-friendly product development.
What is the Product Carbon Footprint?
The PCF indicates how much CO₂ is emitted over the entire life cycle of a product – from raw material extraction, production, and use to disposal or recovery (“cradle-to-grave”). This holistic approach reveals where emissions occur – and where we can effectively reduce them.
Scientifically Sound – Individually Calculated
A customized calculation model was developed specifically for this analysis, tailored precisely to our processes. The interdisciplinary team at Five Glaciers – comprised of PhD-level environmental and engineering experts – determined the CO₂ footprint of each individual product using the latest scientific methods.
Results that Matter
The project was successfully completed in May 2025. The outcome: a clear overview of the emissions profile of each product and valuable starting points for improvement. Whether in material selection, production processes, or product design – there is potential everywhere to reduce emissions.
Low-Carbon Products for Your Projects
One example: our popular Bird’s Nest, a top seller from HUCK Seiltechnik GmbH, impresses not only with its quality and durability but also with a comparatively low CO₂ footprint of just 127.5 kg CO₂e over its full life cycle. A clear demonstration that playground equipment and climate protection go hand in hand.
Our goal: the continuous reduction of CO₂ emissions from our products – through more sustainable materials, more efficient processes, and climate-conscious development. Together, we are shaping a livable future.
