Carbon footprint of products = (LCA + Type3 environmental declaration) × GHG

� Indicator of the greenhouse gases emitted throughout the life cycle of a product (from the

extraction of natural resources to disposal).

� Providing information labels on products (visualization), companies can appeal to consumers their

efforts to combat global warming.

� Promote reduction of corporate CO2 emission throughout the supply chain.

e)Disposal/recycling

Take flexible steps according to a characteristic of the individual product. Calculation coverage in each stages should be defined in the PCR

Calculate GHG emissions of products with primary data in principle.

Using the secondary data should be limited to the case where it is difficult to obtain primary data.

primary data.

4.3.2 AllocationAllocation method is to be established when preparing PCRs according to a product and process characteristic.

4.3.3 Cut-off CriteriaA cut-off criteria is to be established in PCRs with fair discussions taken into consideration.

4.3.4 Criteria relating to Acquisition from two or more Suppliers The data should be collected from all suppliers in principle. Where it is difficult to do so, the primary data collected from a principal supplier may be used as another supplier’s secondary data subject to some criteria.

LCA computation Emission factor used for calculation, etc.Labeling Labeling location, size, additionally indicated items, etc.

4.5 Calculations in Each Stage (some examples)

4.5.1 Raw Material Acquisition Stage PCRs should individually define each calculation coverage while taking into account product characteristics and recycling processes so that any emissions may not be doubly reckoned in the calculation coverage.

To secure PCRs’ fairness and transparency, it is necessary to establish principles and procedures to draw up PCRs, which should be a concept common to all PCRs.

4.5.2 Production Stage Where private power generation is applied in a production stage, the calculation of GHG emissions of input electricity should not be made in the emission factor applicable to power rates commercially available in general but it should employ another emission factor applicable to the private power generation.

4.5.3 Distribution/Selling Stages Some products may have GHG emissions vary in a great measure with a shop or a mode of selling. In such a case, a certain scenario may be set up in PCR.



4.5.4 Use/Maintenance Control Stages GHG emissions in the use/maintenance control stages may be assumed to fall in a variety of cases widely different from user to user. When preparing PCRs, the most standard scenario should be set up to calculate the GHG emitted in these stages.

4.5.5 Disposal/Recycling Stages

No consideration is taken into for those CO2 emissions, which are emitted upon combustion of the biomass of wood or the like in the disposal/recycling stages.

5. Labeling Method of CFP

5.1 Basic Labeling Rules

5.1.1 Basic Conditions to Label CFP

a)Mark each product with a value of the CO2-equivalents emissions throughout its

life cycle per the product, in principle.

b) Unit of emissions shall be “g CO2-equivalents”, “kg CO2-equivalents” and “t CO2-

equivalents”.



equivalents”.

Actual markings, however, shall be “g (grams)”, ”kg (kilograms)” and “t (tons).”

It is necessary to describe fractions of a numerical value, with the effective

number of digits in calculations taken into consideration.

c) Organizations who mark their products with CFP should strive to reduce GHG

emissions continuously.

5.1.2 Contents of labels Carbon footprints are marked in the absolute value of CO2-equivalents emissions.

5.2 Selective/Optional Action In some cases, a labeling deviated from the basic rules may allow for a more effective reduction of GHG emissions. In such a case, a study is to be made for the

5.1.3 Labeling Location, Size, etc.Organizations shall label of CFP onto the body or packing material of a product in principle. For labeling other than on products, organizations can make a selection out of the means, such as website, leaflet, environmental report, price tag, over-the-counter, QR code and other ways that are to be studied.



effective reduction of GHG emissions. In such a case, a study is to be made for the feasibility to authorize such a labeling exceptionally.

5.2.1 Expression of Additional Information (reduction ratios, breakdown by process and by part)

5.2.2 Writing down Life (number of service years) Estimated in Durable Consumer Goods On an as-required basis, the emissions per unit consumption (ex: CO2 equivalent emissions per year consumption”) are authorized to be additionally marked.

5.2.3 Expression of Regional Difference, Seasonal Variation and Supplier Difference

�Principle for primary data collection is not so rigid as before,regarding a process which has small contribution to the entire life cycle of a product.

�As for recycling processes, up to and including the recycling preparation processes are calculated in the disposal and recycling stage.

�Cut-off criteria was changed to 5% or less of the CO2 emissions of the entire life cycle of a product.

�Sales stage is excluded, as a tentative measure,

Optimization of Scope of Product Category Covered by PCR

Optimization of Scope of Product Category Covered by PCR

� For the range of PCR, following points shall be considered.(1)function and characteristics, (2)application (e.g., for business or for consumer,) (3)laws and regulations, and (4)other relative standards (e.g., industry standards,)

then defines the scope as wide as possible, not to develop small range and many PCRs.

Necessity of PCRNecessity of PCR

� PCR: Communication tool.

� ISO14025, which is environmental declaration standard, prescribes the necessity of establishing PCR.

29

the necessity of establishing PCR.

� PCR makes clear ” to consumers and businesses, “how the declaration quantified.

For transparent Type III communication, development of PCRs are crucial.

Some PCRs are translated into English.Above is the PCR for “business printing”.

Procedures for developing PCRsProcedures for developing PCRs

� PCR Registration- To begin the development of PCR, organization shall register the PCR plan, let the interested parties be involved in the discussion.

- Range of the PCR is difficult to arrange. Sometimes, too narrow.

30

too narrow.

� PCR Certification-5 days “public comments” for open consultation.-Review by independent reviewer, then examination by PCR review panel for certification.

VerificationVerification

� ISO 14025: independent verification for BtoBcommunication, third party verification for BtoCcommunication.

� In our programme, PCR verification is conducted by

32

� In our programme, PCR verification is conducted by third-party verifier (personnel), and then PCR verification panel examines.

As CFP based on LCA study on product, verification is different from ISO14064s’.

Verification of CFPVerification of CFP

� Life cycle aspects: requires collect data from raw material extraction stage to end of life stage. This is over the one organization’s boundary, possibly use “scenario” or “secondary data”.

33

� Product based study: producing more than two products in a factory, but only total consumption data obtained. Then we conduct “allocation” by weight, area and etc,.

CFP verification checks evidences and validity of adopting the quantification methods. It strongly requires LCA expertise.

Establishment of database Establishment of database

�For fair calculation, generic database for basic materials are essential.

�Over 1000 GHG data for CFP were prepared by March 2011.

�Coverage:

agriculture, forestry, fishery, mining, food, chemical, oil industry, ceramics, machinery, utility supply, transportation etc..
