THE CHALLENGE
Does this sound familiar?
Your customers ask for PCFs in tenders, and from 18 February 2027 the PCF is part of the battery passport. If you calculate every variant by hand, requests stay unanswered.
Rigid templates
Not every product fits a standard template. Software or servers have no classic bill of materials at all.
Every request from scratch
Without a template, every new PCF starts from zero.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the product carbon footprint
What is a product carbon footprint?
A product carbon footprint (PCF) states the greenhouse gas emissions of a single product across its life cycle, from raw material extraction to the factory gate or to end of life. It is expressed in CO₂ equivalents per product unit.
What is the difference between CCF and PCF?
Both are carbon footprints: the corporate carbon footprint (CCF) covers the emissions of an entire company for one year, the PCF the emissions of a single product across its life cycle. Many customers now ask for both.
Is a PCF mandatory?
There is no general PCF obligation. For batteries, disclosing PCF results is part of the battery passport from 18 February 2027, and further product groups are planned under the EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR). Above all, customers ask for PCFs in tenders today.
Can I calculate PCFs for software or digital products?
Yes. In Code Gaia you configure your own life cycle stages according to industry standards, also for products without a classic bill of materials, such as software or servers.
