In the impact reports, we estimate CO2 emissions using the European Energy Agency's factors for reduced CO2-footprint. We find the reduced emission by comparing the emissions of our product with a similar product made in virgin plastic. Next we compare this number with emissions of common activities to put it in context.
- For emissions from a one-way flight from London to New York we use ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator
- For emissions of producing one 100g beef burger we use CarbonCloud climate hub - Hamburger (beef), raw
- For comparison with trees we use https://ecotree.green/en/how-much-co2-does-a-tree-absorb#answer
All products and value-chains are unique. Want to learn more about AION's work on these estimations or want to learn more about your own emissions? We're happy to help!
