188

Arburg has been working intensively on the topic of sustainability and resource efficiency for a very long time. As a supplier of Allrounder injection moulding machines, the machine manufacturer is increasingly active in evaluating climate protection activities along the entire value chain for its customers. On the basis of ISO TS 14067:2018, a standard that defines a product’s greenhouse gas emissions or product carbon footprint (PCF), Arburg has investigated how the PCF and specific energy requirements of its injection moulding machines can be calculated.
