Assumptions and defaults18 entries, 5 warnings
Warnings · 5
- This listing is a pack or set of several items. The footprint is for the listing as sold, using 0.15 kg, a typical weight for one item: check that this weight covers every item in the pack.
- m1: Resin (epoxy) has no verified carbon content, so its biogenic carbon is missing from the biogenic balance.
- m2: Beeswax has no verified carbon content, so its biogenic carbon is missing from the biogenic balance.
- Factor te26_cotton_org_in includes land-use change that cannot be separated; LUC is reported inside fossil GHG for this line.
- Temporal scores for desnz_2025, textile_exchange_2026 use the edition year; their underlying data are older, so those temporal scores may be better than the data deserve.
Assumptions register · 18 entries
- Screening mode: this listing gives no primary data, so every input below that is not a stated material or weight is a named screening default. The result is not PACT-conformant (primary data share 0 %).
- Product mass 0.15 kg is a category typical value for "packaging", not a measured weight.
- Country of manufacture not stated in the listing; India assumed.
- m1: material matched from "resin" (family, MEDIUM confidence): resin of unstated type is modelled as epoxy resin.
- m1: material share 33 % is estimated from the listing text.
- m2: Beeswax is not in the published factor library; screening proxy proxy_beeswax (CONTESTED, technological score 4) used.
- m2: material matched from "beeswax" (specific, HIGH confidence): beeswax is modelled with one Italian apiary study (mass allocation with honey), a contested stand-in.
- m2: material share 33 % is estimated from the listing text.
- m3: material share 33 % is estimated from the listing text.
- Inbound transport of materials to the factory is left out of the total, because supplier locations are unknown; its likely size is estimated and reported under the cut-off rule below.
- Distribution route is a screening default (1,000 km road), carrying product plus packaging.
- Cut-off rule: processes are excluded only where no verified data exists, and each exclusion is estimated where possible and reported (ISO 14044 §4.2.3.3.3). Inbound transport is estimated at 0.0094 kg CO₂e.
- Carbon content of cellulose computed from repeat-unit stoichiometry (0.4445 kgC/kg), pure polymer basis (additives, moisture and finishes ignored).
- Secondary (library) factors are scored at least 3 on technology: PACT v3 Table 12 reserves scores 1-2 for primary data.
- Use-phase scenario: No energy-using use phase for packaging.
- End-of-life route shares: MFP screening scenario for India, not PEFCR: textiles and leather goods 80 % landfill / dump, 5 % burning; plastics 60 % / 10 %; paper 40 % / 5 %; metals and glass 50 % landfill; the rest recovered (cut-off). Anchored on CPCB Annual Report on Solid Waste Management 2021-22 (24 % landfilled, 22 % unaccounted).
- Aggregated secondary factors are used as published in their own GWP basis (AR4, AR5); only gas-split fuel factors and direct gas emissions are characterised with AR6. Residual inconsistency is typically a few percent for CO2-dominated factors.
- Sources quoted as published figures (not open-licensed datasets): plasticseurope_epoxy_2005, screening_proxy, textile_exchange_2026. Replace with licensed or supplier data before external or comparative claims.
SensitivityThe figure with other published choices
Sensitivity analysis (ISO 14067 §6.4.5, §6.6)
The footprint recalculated with each alternative choice: other published factors, the other allocation method, the grid mix instead of a green-power contract, and the use profile at its uncertainty bounds. A large change shows where better data pays off first.

| Goal: application, reasons, audience, comparative assertion §6.3.1 / 14044 4.2.2 | Screening carbon footprint shown on the Made for Planet catalogue so brands and buyers can see where a product's emissions come from. Reasons: No company data is available for this listing; a transparent estimate from the listing and published factors shows the likely size and the main stages. Audience: Brands and buyers (business-to-business). The estimate is also displayed on madeforplanet.com, labelled as a screening estimate; it is not an environmental claim the brand may use in marketing. Public comparative assertion: no. |
| Functional or declared unit and reference flow §7.3 a | Functional unit: one packaging delivered and used to the end of its life, sold in India; reference flow 0.15 kg of product. |

ISO 14067 counts biogenic removals (−1) and emissions (+1) in the carbon footprint; the PACT headline excludes biogenic uptake. Both are shown.
