How does a plastic moulding unit in Daman work out CO2 per kg of product?
Electricity is the main source. Divide yearly kWh by kilograms moulded and multiply by 0.710 kg CO2 per kWh. For buyers asking for a product footprint, add the plastic resin itself from the resin supplier or a recognised factor, which is usually larger than the moulding energy.
Your own emissions
- Grid electricity for moulding machines, chillers and compressors.
- DG diesel during outages.
Product footprint
- Resin weight per part times the resin factor.
- Moulding energy per part.
- Packaging if the buyer asks.
Quick wins
Servo drives on machines and fixing chiller and compressed air waste cut kWh per kg.
