The Product Carbon Footprint (CFP) represents the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product throughout its life cycle—from raw material extraction to production, use, and end-of-life. This comprehensive measure is expressed in CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e), providing a clear picture of a product’s environmental impact.
Aluminium is all around us – in cans, cars, cables and construction. But behind its low weight lies a high-impact industry. As global efforts accelerate towards net-zero targets, aluminium’s unique properties are making it increasingly essential – and raising critical questions about how sustainably we can meet future demand.

Silver is no longer just a shiny precious metal—it’s a vital component in the global energy transition. Its unique combination of high electrical conductivity, reflectivity, and antibacterial properties makes it indispensable in solar panels, semiconductors, and medical devices. But as demand from clean energy and high-tech sectors surges, supply is struggling to keep pace.
Life Cycle Assessment, or LCA, is a scientific methodology used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product, process, or service throughout its entire life cycle. By conducting an LCA, businesses gain vital insights into how their operations affect the environment—from greenhouse gas emissions and ozone layer depletion to energy and material consumption.

Zinc has been known for millennia, primarily as a component in brass, but isolating it in pure form took time. It wasn't until the 12th or 13th century in India that zinc was produced in significant quantities. In Europe, large-scale production only began centuries later. The industrial revolution propelled zinc into mainstream use, particularly in galvanization — coating iron and steel to prevent rust and extend product life.
