# How does a plastic moulding unit in Daman work out CO2 per kg of product?

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/daman-plastic-moulding-unit-electricity-per-kg

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.

## What Senseible does here

Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
